Right, but that's only an issue with the new build script if gcc is 
installed in a user-defined location, and ICU is in the same location.  In 
this case the build script will needlessly add the "std" include and lib 
paths to the command line, which as previously noted may mess up wrapper 
headers and the like.  I don't know how to fix that easily at present, what 
does Boost.Python do, it has a similar problem - ah I see, python 
headers/binaries never end up in the std locations anyway is that right?
