You can always do similar to what IOStreams does with bzip2 & zlib, and 
provide additional macros to modify the search path from (documented) 
defaults.

Say ICU_PATH causes the default search, but a ICU_LIBPATH & ICU_BINPATH 
if those directories are not where the search script look in.

The important thing is to make sure the behaviour is consistent across 
Boost. Which means Regex & Locale and any future libraries that might 
use ICU. And make sure the options are documented in all relevant 
libraries and release note.
