Issue #2165 - Build ICU as a shared library if we're building Spidermonkey shared.
It seems that if we're going to enable JS_SHARED_LIBRARY, we need ICU to be a shared library too in order to prevent code duplication in mozjs.dll bloating it to a whopping 21 MB. This unfortunately means we have to fold icudata back to icu itself. But since icudata is still separated from libxul (which is what really matters for #1451), I think this is a fair compromise. Building ICU as shared is offered as an option via --enable-shared-icu. But technically you really need --enable-shared-icu if you're going to use --enable-shared-js. Unfortunately I can't make configure exit with an error if MOZ_SHARED_ICU is not defined when JS_SHARED_LIBRARY is enabled, because options are controlled by different configure scripts (icu is based on bash, while js is based on python), and I have no idea how to pass MOZ_SHARED_ICU to js's moz.configure. Tag #62
