One more small piece of information.  I just checked, and the newest ICUTransService.cpp
will not work with ICU 1.5 because the number of parameters for function
ucnv_setFromUCallBack changed between 1.5 and 1.6.  So, regardless of whether you begin
with the 1.2.0a version of ICUTransService.cpp or with the very latest version of
ICUTransService.cpp, you have to make some changes if you want it to work with ICU 1.5.
