The following comments aren't directed at you Dan,
just my personal opinion on ICU.
ICU is giving Parrot a black eye. The ICU we have in
CVS right now is really old and broken. We are
shipping a "bare bones" version of ICU that doesn't
build very easily anywhere.
I don't want to sound like I am complaining without
offering to help out with the work. I just didn't
want to take the initiative without direction and have
it be an excersise in futility - that's why I made
multiple suggestions.
Ok - so which way do we go?
A. Leave it as is
B. Upgrade to a bare bones 3.0
C. Upgrade to a full version of 3.0
D. Improve the config/gen/icu.pl with any of the
previous options
E. Something else entirely?
