I'm not sure that this is what I want. I want to build ICU with Visual
Studio and the ClangCl compiler frontend from LLVM 13.0.0. Their build
system can use Cygwin for this combination to orchestrate and configure
the build - which I very much like :-)

Sorry that I did not mention this in my email.

The build works fine and I get native ICU shared libraries like I want.
The only "downside" is that it creates the unsupported folders :-)

Cheers,

    Mario
