Submitted by: andy


ICU4C samples need some cleaning up.

Generic problems:

o   Many of the samples are missing readme files.
    Readme should say what the sample demonstrates, how to build,
    how to run it and what the expected output is.
    Be nice to Windows users - if the Readme is a text file, give it
    a .txt file extension.

o   Samples should include a call to u_cleanup() before they
    exit.  Running them in the MSVC debugger with leak checking
    is pretty ugly without it.

o   Need an option to build and run all samples as part of a regular ICU build.


Specific problems:

date:     name of sample conflicts with date command.  Should change it to
          avoid confusion when running from command line.

datefmt:  Linker warning in Windows, probably some wrong project setting,
          but I didn't see anything obviously wrong.

msgfmt:   Linker warning in Windows, probably some wrong project setting.

numfmt:   No UNIX Makefile.

props:    No UNIX Makefile.

search:   Obsolete sample, now that search is in ICU.
          Wont build because of class name clashes with ICU library.

ufortune: Output to DOS windows from ustdio is in the wrong code page,
          non-ASCII latin-1 chars don't display correctly.

udata:    UNIX Makefile problems; doesn't build
