[chandler-users] libicu issue (not libutil)

[Nocte Diemque]

Thanks Grant. It's good to know that I'll be able to use 7.10 for the next release. 

I really hope one of (1) to (3) come to pass, at least for the medium term. It'd be a
real negative if Chandler would only run on the latest versions. 

All the best -- I value Chandler every day -- Nocte
