 ICU is an internationalization library supported by IBM. Home of the project is [[http://www.icu-project.org/]]
-Builds available from ICU site do not support VC6, so we need to build custom library for VC6 support. The modified sources are available from the [[ http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/source/|source repository]]
+To build ICU with native Microsoft tools follow the instructions in the readme.html#HowToBuildCygwin from the source directory. Note that bash, make and several other UNIX tools are needed. Based on experience configure and make scripts strongly require cygwin ports of the tools. At this time a work is being done to make it possible to generate Visual Studio projects with cmake.
-Builds for 3.6 on VC6 and 3.8.1 on VC9 32 and 64-bit are available from [[http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/]]. Build for 3.8.1 on VS2005 (VC8) is available from [[http://www.icu-project.org/download/3.8.html#ICU4C|ICU site]].
