Thanks for the suggestions.

If we go straight for option 3, can we get this fake library done in the next 
couple of months?

If we go for option 2 first, we'd have to investigate if there is any system 
API to provide QCollator support for the system locale. Does anyone know of 
such a thing?

I'm sorry, but I will block any task on making QCollator public until we know 
that we can have a working QtCore without an ICU dependency.
