ICU is probably the best of those available. But it's not perfect.

* It aims for reversibility, adding odd punctuation to distinguish between 
similar source strings. We would prefer readable if somewhat ambiguous output.
* It doesn't have any support for Japanese or Korean readings of the 
unified han, as Mark noted.
* We would have to write a command line wrapper program for that part of 
the library.
