I think the main problem is that a lot of ICU utilities are not actually
in the Ubuntu package.

Or at least they were not when I last time looked. Some were bizarrely
in libicu-dev.

Compiling ICU directly from IBM's source was an extremely clean job when
I did it a year or so ago. Never had so little difficulty compiling
anything. But the difference is marked between that and teh run of teh
mill Ubuntu package. I am not sure if this affects something, but bear
it in mind.

Another related matter - if size matters, I think it is relatively
straight forward to cut out irrelevant aspects from ICU. I have seen a
couple of articles on that.
