Hi,
You can try to build your own like in:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_Factory/src/mingw32-icu-4.0.1-1.32.src.rpm
Or try it with headers and libs from:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_Factory/noarch/mingw32-libicu-devel-4.0.1-1.32.noarch.rpm
and use already built bins from:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_Factory/noarch/mingw32-libicu-4.0.1-1.32.noarch.rpm

I like to use webkitgtk as html viewer in python application "GRAMPS" 
(http://www.gramps-project.org) in Windows also and not just in Linux.

Do you solve problem with rendering local files?
Why "client->didReceiveResponse(handle.get(), response);" break things 
in Windows?
