In the sake of platform independence I'd say to keep it there. It's far easier
if you have only the usual build dependencies and the one special thing
inside the tree to quick test on different platforms.
What I want to say that you'll find a sane build environment and a Perl on
most of the machines, but even I don't have ICU installed.
BTW, it doesn't compile on any platform at the moment, after a realclean on
the first "make" it complains about
../data/locales/ja.txt:15: parse error. Stopped parsing with
U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR
couldn't parse the file ja.txt. Error:U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR
make[1]: *** [../data/out/build/icudt26l_ja.res] Error 3
If you do a make at this point again, it skips these steps and tries to link
parrot, failing on many undefined symbols, I believe from the non existent
ICU.
