The only changes we made is in the Makefiles/config scripts and they
are just simple changes. We didn't change the code at all. We could
just use yours.

We used our own because we needed a version that didn't link with
libc_r.so (i.e., no pthread) because on FreeBSD 4.x, libc and libc_r
apparently do not work well with each other -- it would cause random
crashes. That problem is supposed to be fixed on 5.x I heard.
But for 4.x, perhaps we should create a separate port for thread-based
and non-thread-based of ICU, xerces-c2 and xalan-c?
