while this is of course true, Simon's problem could occur on any milestone.
the problem is that the module that should have delivered the file
libicule.so was not built.
this can be caused by bad module dependencies (if it happens on a build
from scratch), but actually a lot of the time it is caused by user error,
such as building from tarballs and not unpacking the external library
tarball, or deleting parts of the build output and then not rebuilding that.
to fix it you just have to re-build and deliver the module that delivers
the file ("icu" in this case).
btw, in CWS gnumake4 i've tweaked Deliver.mk so it prints an error message
in this case, and doesn't just call "cp" with one parameter...
