The reason to use configure is so that 'it' (the configure magic) can
figure out what's there, what's needed, what's in the way. Invoking
configure with extra flags such as --with-system-icu sort of defeats
the purpose. It can be as easily done without configure with 'make
ICU_BUILD= '
right - with a couple pkg-config calls we can easily determine what
version is available and use it.
That is just the way I made this first configure. It could be done any
way you like. For example, we could have it by default try to find
suitable system versions, and if found, use them (I've used that in
another project I am working on). We could then also add flags to
override (disable) that. The reason I went with needing to explicitly
use system versions is because that is generally safer. For example,
given the recent report that on some distros, even though they have
openssl 0.9.8 Chandler does not work against it for some reason.
pkg-config is not available on all distros, nor is it available on Mac
(?) or Windows.
PS. We should take this discussion to dev.
On Mac I wasn't worried about pkg-config because it will be a binary
option: running on leopard? yes=use system, no=use ours
On Windows: use ours
