+Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
+The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard
+Library. One goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide
+reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable
+for eventual standardization.
+
+If you do not want to build with icu4c support, than you'll need
+to pass ICU="NO" to the build-script.
