How will this compare UTF-8 strings in UTF-8 encoding? It seems to me
that ideally, it should use ucol_strcollUTF8 to compare the same,
however, with patch, it will always ucol_strcoll as we never define
HAVE_UCOL_STRCOLLUTF8 flag on Windows. We have some multi-byte tests
in src/test/mb directory, see if we can use those to verify these
changes. I admit that I have not tried to execute those on Windows,
so I have no idea if those even work.
