As part of implementing the ECMAScript Internationalization API [1, 2] in

Mozilla products [3], I need to integrate the ICU library (International
Components for Unicode [4]) into the source tree and the build.
This has been brought up many times over the years, and each time
previously we decided not to import ICU. At first, the license was
incompatible; that has since been fixed. Now the question is mainly
about whether the features ICU provides are worth the really cost in
terms of binary size.
How much size does ICU cost, if we took the entire library? How much
of that is data (which can be shared in 32/64 mac universal builds)
and how much is code which cannot be shared?
ICU doesn't come with data files. Data is enclosed in libraries, and
such data is not shared between the 32-bits and 64-bits parts of
universal binaries.
Actually, ICU has several options for how its data is packaged. One
option is libraries (which are not sharable between architectures,
AFAIK), but another possibility is to use data package (.dat) files,
which I believe *could* be shared between the 32- and 64-bit builds.
