This patch makes it at least theoretically possible for 'make
languages' to work. Without this patch, you have to manually set
the environment variable PARROT_ICU_DATA_DIR to the correct
directory. As is indicated in the comments, this is a temporary
hack, but it's the cleanest thing I could think of.
