 >Do you need access to a Win64 system where you can test this?

 I think it's moved far beyond Win64 now - actually I think those issues
 are mostly solved?  But I assume we still have problems with Boost.Build
 not passing all the build variants on to the config check.

 >The resulting libraries and binaries reside in the subdirectories
 /some/icupath/bin and /some/icupath/lib (no "64" in the paths)

 I think we may have reached the point at which we can't please everybody
 all of the time :-(

 For a specific setup like that, I'd suggest building with:

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=some-path/bin
 bjam include=/some-path/include linkflags=-Lsome-path/lib

 So everything is "just there" in the compilers paths.
