Eric,

So previously you clarified that the ICU library bundled with various
OS:es have been badly broken, and that Boost's consistency check not
really would detect the issues, and that the ICU issues out there have
been too severe and subtle for LibBitcoin to be able to implement a
proper consistency check also - and for this reason you simply make a
local compile of ICU for LibBitcoin so you know the ICU version
delivers.

And, users can use any other ICU install they want but under the
condition that they know it's a really good one.


Now - you also make a local compile of LibBoost for LibBitcoin.

What have been the experiences and reasons that led you to do that?


Thanks!
