ICU is definitely better since we already have a lot of code using ICU
and AFAIK our current IDN functions (idn_to_*) use ICU. Which means it
would be advantageous to keep it in the single library - whatever bugs
there may be, at least the user will be dealing with one set of bugs
instead of two :)
