pkg-config ? #1

Might consider using (or at least, attempting) "pkg-config ... icu-i18n" instead of icu-config

Sorry, I missed this. If you install the ICU development files you should have icu-config, unless recent versions have stopped installing it.

I've done the whole 'search really hard for libraries' thing with Imager, and it has too many corner cases for me to want to do it for this module.

ICU hasn't stopped including icu-config, but please consider using pkg-config instead, with the appropriate modules such as icu-uc and icu-i18n

What advantage is there with pkg-config over icu-config?

The main disadvantage I can see is that pkg-config isn't always available, while icu-config always is.

pkg-config is standardized and manages dependencies well. icu-config has some issues. ICU will attempt to install its pkg-config files regardless of whether pkg-config itself is installed.
