[sword-devel] Issues with German Umlaut characters in SWORD trunk?

When building SWORD based on SVN Rev. 3747 (May 18th) I get the 
following CMake output and with this SWORD version ICU _is still found 
correctly_.

For both builds (ICU found vs. not found) I've been using the same ICU 
sources (Version 65, tag /release-65-1/, 
https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/tree/release-65-1).

Since May 18th - has something changed in how the ICU library is 
found/detected?

I will now check which CMake version is used on the GitHub build agents, 
I don't think I'm controlling that at the moment.
