[pyicu-dev] towards release 1.0

[Christoph Burgmer]

Not sure if you like plain text README in reStructuredText, but this could 
spice up the cheese shop index page [1]. See attached patch for changes to the 
original README. I tried to change as little as possible, but whitespace and 
special markup characters were crutial for rst2html to compile. It surely is 
in the eye of the beholder what to markup and what not, see [2] for a 
reference.
