You don't happen to know if Qt changed their policy on ICU dependence 
between 5.6 and 5.7? I rarely have anything to do with the Qt source 
directly but depend upon your binaries and now pip to install PyQt. I 
believe the binary installer for PyQt5.6 was configured to use the -icu 
flag and the icu dll's ended up in my application's directories once 
frozen, but I'm not seeing this now with PyQt5.7.
