fun fact about ICU +universal

but endianness would be if ppc were included. Alignment is another potential
issue, but less likely to be in these cases.

Things have become a little simpler there -- as we have no compiler in
MacPorts at present that can cross-compile c++11 code between Intel and PPC
architectures, and as so many things, including ICU, need c++11 now, that
is not happening.
