I've updated libs/locale/build/Jamfile.v2 with additional full test
for the case when the libraries are placed in lib64, I will not do
it for lib32 for now as I don't think there are some useful
cases for this.

So basically it has tests: has_icu an has_icu64 where
each one of them searches ICU

One of the things I've seen that Regex's ICU search script use
delayed load... I don't think that Boost.Locale would need
such things.

Please, take a look on this changeset: 
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/73214

It may be useful for Boost.Regex as well.
