OK, but doesn't the problem occurs only when icu is enabled? Do we want
to prevent from using boost-locale in static linking situations in all
cases, or only when combined with icu?

Perhaps we should keep it simple and do like you suggest, i.e make it
unavailable for all static linking configurations, regardless of icu
availability. I'm just trying to figure out the best/right approach
between yours and the one proposed by Yegor.

Best regards,

Thomas
