Try it. The port obeys PTHREAD_LIBS and PTHREAD_CFLAGS settings (or
should). Once it builds, do

	`make intltest'

no need to even install the thing. ICU documents some issues threading
and on Solaris -- due, supposedly, to unsafe sleep/usleep there:

It would be great to resolve this -- FreeBSD's threading or ICU or both
will benefit. Thanks!
