Well, it might appear as a very dumb question, but ... where do I find 
this version of QtWebkit that doesnt depends on lib ICU? I was digging 
around with version 2.3 (including ones already included in Qt 5.2 b1) 
and they still needs ICU.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,
RIchard.

It would be awesome to provide a barely minimal and downsized package for mobile clients (which I'm now focused), as an example.

Depending on target audience of your application, you may want to remove data for some locales - look into ICU documentation how to prepare custom .dat file. There may also be kinds of data unused by WebKit - maybe currencies or timezones, though I don't know for sure.
