So, one suggestion is to ship icu library to /usr/g++ (including 
icu-config in /usr/g++/bin).  I dislike it. :)
The other idea is as we currently don't have internal icu consumers just 
to ship it into /usr.

But this is a good idea only if we are ready to rip Studio support. Are 
we agree on this?
