Not really :-(

Can you build applications that link to ICU at all?  Also remember that the 
ICU support is optional, you can build regex perfectly well without it, but 
of course that doesn't help if you need to use u32regex.

So I guess my suggestions would be:

1) Double check that ICU built OK (it didn't for me with VC8), and that you 
have the expected dll's and lib's (icuuc.dll icuin.dll etc).
2) Check that you can build a simple program that uses ICU - there should be 
some examples that ship with that library you could try.
3) Try running bjam with the -d2 option so you can see what the command 
lines are.

If those don't suggest something then I'm stuck, sorry :-(

HTH, John.
