When I looked at this (rather quickly, some time ago) I didn't see
anything being determined in the conditional makefiles that wasn't already
known to ICU's configure system. I suspect it's an historic artifact of
the way ICU was developed. It's probably not *too* hard to move the
relevant logic into Makefile.in and friends, but it probably would be a
pain to maintain those changes separately from the official upstream ICU
distribution.
