Yes. It uses 2.6.

Unfortunately it is heavy patched so the possibility of using system-icu is
not that near.
OOo Upstream hoever wants to resolve that and get the patches upstream and
update icu then probably - so for some later version (2.0.1?) there will a
possibility to use system-icu. Not for 2.0, though :/ (Too bad, icu is
big...)
