Hi all,

By default, FreeBSD ports does not build postgresql with icu 
(http://www.icu-project.org/).


Some questions:

1) It is necessary that icu should be used on FreeBSD?
I have heard that FreeBSD's locale (glibc) has sorting problem with Postgresql 
UTF8 DB.
reference: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo:ICU


2) After searching in google, it was said that using ICU is faster (in terms of 
sorting in locale).

3) Any other pros and cons?

Thanks,
Patrick
