I have yet not tried to make xpressive work with ICU. Xpressive follows 
the TR1 regex proposal very closely; in particular, it uses the standard 
regex traits interface, which (I believe) is how John is plugging ICU 
into Boost.Regex. If so, then the ICU traits wrappers can be easily 
ported to xpressive, and the unicode iterators (in boost/regex/pending) 
can be used as-is. It's on my ToDo list, but I don't have time for this 
work right now. I encourage you to give it a shot. If you get it 
working, I'd gladly accept the patch.
