Surprisingly, I am not able to find this commit on a master branch.

Well, it will work for the users who are using ICU version >= 50 but
not for the older ICU versions So, we will have to figure out a way,
to either detect the availability of ucoll_strcollutf8() on Windows or
may be ICU version itself and set HAVE_UCOL_STRCOLLUTF8 flag
accordingly.
