[ANNOUNCE] cl-icu 0.0.0

cl-icu is a common lisp interface to IBM's unicode/i18n library ICU 
(http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/). The goal of ICU is to provide i18n 
support to lisp applications by providing a convient interface to ICU.

Currently only basic date and number formatting are available (see 
sample/datefmt.lisp and samples/numfmt.lisp).

cl-icu is know to work on OpenMCl with ICU version 2.6, although the 
use of uffi and icu's relative api stability should minimize porting 
issuse. Due to some complexeties in loading libicui18n and libicuc 
please read the README file _before_ compiling and loading cl-icu, in 
particular you will probably have to edit a few files based on how icu 
was compiled.

Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget the perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.
