ponie really worked if installed, but ponie is currently only using
parrot's data structure code. I doubt that it's going anywhere near ICU

As to parrot - well, I tried some simple imc code and it seemed to work.
But I guess that that didn't go near ICU.

I guess what is needed (for both parrot and perl 5 and perl 6 and maybe
modules on CPAN in general) is the ability to run the regression tests
against the installed version.
