Re: Discuss: Apache Portable Runtime and/or IBM ICU4C?

So, I think in a perfect world, we'd want our logging package to depend 
on as few other libraries as possible. I'll have to look at the timezone 
code, but I have to think that there is some way to avoid the TZ problem 
using standard libraries.

I love ICU, but it seems like a huge library just to handle dates and times.
If we do need libraries for threads and dates, I'd be tempted to look at 
the boost thread and date_time libraries. Do they have the functionality 
needed?
