Thanks for the quick turnaround on testing. I have no problem with
ICU 4.2 being behind OOo 3.1.0 if that's what you and the release team
decide. At the moment, ICU 4.2 is failing to build on most
architectures because of a library on which ranlib was not run. Some
architectures, like i386, don't care, but most do. I've already
reported to upstream.
