Invoking external programs works fine in Android.
The only difference in Android is that we would have to have the GC
programs in the app's directory.
And... it seems its not so easy to compile programs using ICU on Android.
If people think that it would be useful, I could implement solution 1)

Having the user to install CG manually on his/her desktop machine is fine.
If implemented I'd suggest that we expand the 'language-pairs' file in
builds/ with a keyword saying that CG is required.
