upstream to consider providing stable API/ABI, symbol versioning

I mean, if a shared library has 1-2 users, we can still live with it being
in constant flux, but for a widely used shared library stable public ABI is
really important.
Part of the problem is ICU has C++ ABI, changes in classes' vtables have
to force recompilation of depending packages, unless virtual methods are
only appended and never inserted.
The dependency on supported Unicode version data was already mentioned
by Caolan.
