I can guarantee you that if that is going to be the attitude of the
development team, for what are very popular platforms (mostly, any
platform with ICU), then this project will likely lose a large
portion of its' user base. If Xerces wants to stop claiming to
support ICU, I suppose that's a way out of this as well, but that
will certainly drive me to some other solution. As it is, the new
Intel XML libraries are looking awfully tempting for win32 and
x86-linux, given their performance and support, and the 3.0 release
discussion certainly isn't convincing me to stay with Xerces.
It certainly is not the intent of the development team to not support
icu. It looks to me like the icu build was broken by some additions
for an icu message loader (Alby?). That clearly needs to be fixed.
The first error reported by Boris was that the message loaders using
additional files (ICU and MsgCat) implemented the 'install' target
through a rule that was imported from Makefile.incl, and wasn't
rewritten (and this has been fixed in August). As for the newer libtool
not putting the dependency in the samples command line, I couldn't see
it as I was using an old Ubuntu distribution; now that I upgraded to the
latest one, I could try reproducing it. But having someone else working
on autoconf would be great, as I am mainly a Windows developer with some
Linux/Solaris experience.

P.S. Someone should step up to fix the xerces-p binding too, or my next
work in that area will be to tell autoconf not to generate/build
anything in the swig subfolder
