Not sure I follow - that file will be used when you build ICU, but not by
Boost.Build when you build regex, so all you can really do in that case is
use it as a reference to see what libs are required by an ICU static lib.
Of course if you use ICU as a shared lib then none of this is relevant since
the .so is already linked against all it needs.
