The PR https://github.com/apertium/apertium/pull/47 wants to add a direct
dependency on ICU. I am in favour of this, but figured it should be brought
up on the list.

Reasoning:
- HFST and CG-3 both require ICU, and ICU has been the official Unicode
library for 3 years now.
- lttoolbox requires libxml2, and libxml2 requires ICU - so Apertium
already has a transitive dependency on ICU.
- Language development requires libxml2-utils to get xmllint, which again
transitively requires ICU.

So we might as well embrace ICU entirely - also in other parts of lttoolbox
and the wider Apertium tools.
