compile errors with pyicu 1.9.2 using visual studio community 2015 on windows 10

Created by: maveryKearney

The problem occurs with: - visual studio community 2015 - windows 10 amd64 4-processor dell - python 3.5.0 win32 python. Note that vc 2015 compiles amd64 bit code but blocks execution at run-time. - icu 55 and 56 win32 builds

The problem does not occur when I use visual C++ 2010 express, I just verified this on my win7 machine. BUT - unfortunately I no longer have the vs 2010 express install package, - I can no longer find a means to download visual C++ 2010 express from a credible site. If I can't get it from microsoft directly then I probably don't want it, and MS probably is discouraging use at this point. - documentation for VS community 2015 indicates that visual C++ express 2010 is accessible "in" VS community 2015. I have not figured out how at this point.

Regardless it appears that python 3.5.0 is now using VS 2015 in production to compile from source.

Here is my compile output (I tried attaching but git hub declared, "Something went really wrong...")

It occurs to me that I should try installing VS 2015 on my win7 machine to see if by chance the compilation works there.

There are 4 instances of a single type error in a function/method within the pyicu calendar.cpp module
