This library is used for processing Unicode text in several high-profile
packages, including Chromium and other Webkit browsers, PHP, boost, and
many more.

Fair warning: ICU tends to break several packages with every major
release, so thorough testing is needed when bumping it.

This package is currently being maintained by proxy by a former Gentoo
developer, Arfrever. Given this package's potential to cause problems,
this situation is not ideal.

It would be really great if an active Gentoo developer would step
forward and take care of this one.
