Hi Alex,

just stumbled on your comment while doing an icu update and dug a bit 
into it. See below.

There is no option to use a non-vendored library. But it's not relevant 
for PTXDist, as it's only used for their tests [1].

Furthermore they locally patch the library for their testing purposes 
[2][3] (e.g. not error on invalid Unicode chars in a JSON string for a 
negative test) and have a script and documentation to vendor new 
versions without loosing their patches [1].
