Martin, do you think we should integrate ICU directly into Sword? (And does anyone else have a serious objection to this?) It would mean signifigant growth in the size of the source tree. But this would be a good time to make the jump since we are about to do a CVS reorganization and I need to redo our ICU stuff to match the new version. The biggest pro of keeping them separate is not needing to download/compile ICU if you don't really need it. The biggest pro of integrating them is being able to depend on ICU more. ICU works on all of our important platforms, so there's no problem in that area. --Chris
