What's the task list for being able to upgrade ICU to something current?
This is pissing me off sufficiently that I WILL DO IT once I know what it is.

The one we've got is an albatross. It can't build with g++ on AIX
(because it has IBM compiler specific **OPTIMISATION** flags in the
default AIX config), and on Solaris I find this joy:

$ file src/extend.o
src/extend.o:   ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable SPARC Version 1
$ file icu/source/i18n/anytrans.o
icu/source/i18n/anytrans.o:     ELF 64-bit MSB relocatable SPARCV9 Version 1

The sodding thing insists on building LP64.
(And that's *AFTER* forcing the compiler flags to it to defined _XP6, else
a system header bails out with #error, and getting the sysadmin to install
gnu make, and putting gnu make first in my path (Lo stupid! I'd invoked
make with a absolute path. DAMN WELL USE THAT))

We need to get shot of the one we've got. It's hurting parrot.
