Configuration Dependency issue: texlive_base @2007_7 fails to compile if icu @4.2.1_1 is installed.

Just stumbled across this, and am submitting a bug report as well, but in case you are having this problem. Here is any easy fix...

When you build icu BEFORE texlive_base, texlive_base fails with...

But, if you compile texlive_base FIRST, then icu, everything is happy!!!

Enjoy,

Assigning to the maintainer of icu since texlive_base has no maintainer.
