[darcs-users] darcs needs text pkg, which fails to build on GHC 6.8

Hi Jason,

> What does libicu provide that we care about?

Normalization.

The reason I didn't use text-icu was that text-icu requires ICU 4
while many Linux distributions still ship ICU 3, and it is very well
possible to do the stuff we do in a way that works on both ICU 3 and
4.
