Scripts for build ICU for Windows

Build ICU for Windows (MSVC)

This build scripts are created for Powershell in Windows. Sources will be downloaded from original repository on https://icu-project.org

Primarily this script was created for my BuildSystem wich is described here.
This scripts should work on other systems too.

Since this Version, there are only two major requirements to get this build working.
All other tools, wich are required for build, will be downloaded automatically and set to PATH for building.
The download will only happen if Scripts wasn't able to find a local Version of this tools. So it is still recommended to install it on your system.

If error will occur you can use Powershell ISE for debugging, or contact me.
