> Why is distributing ICU4J with FOP a bit of a headache?

The jar is somewhat largish (6MB), and only a small part will be used (although
other parts are useful too, like Thai support).
Anyway, bundling a dependency may be good for users which prefer a self
contained installation but usually are a headache for people who want to
package FOP with their products, therefore I'd like to restrict bundled
jars to a "minimal guaranteed feature set."

Yes. Testing for a single, typically used class should be sufficient.

I don't think this is necessary, although I'm no longer on top of things
when it comes to know when a JVM loads classes.
