I know that it can be installed manually, but to ignorant users it seems
broken. IDN was disabled in the official builds of PHP 5.3 & 5.4 for
Windows, so there was no need to install IDN support under XP. 
Better keep it that way (for 5.3/5.4) or there will be a lot of
complaints by XP/2k3 users.

See http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-07/0278.html
I had a discussion with the cUrl developers on this subject in July
2012.
