Are you aware that the default R for Windows installation from CRAN
has ICU support?

These instructions are unfortunately outdated. The scripts and
instructions used to build the current version of R for Windows can be
found here: https://github.com/rwinlib/base#readme

That build of ICU was for the previous toolchain (up to R 3.2.5). You
need to use the ICU build which is included with Rtools (if you
checked the icu checkbox during the Rtools installation). The scripts
mentioned above will do this automatically.
