 Given that only systems where ICU doesn't already exist

While distro packagers can get away with a system-icu alright, our
"universal" Linux builds always have to have icu in them anyway, can't
rely on there being a system icu there unfortunately, especially because
the soname of icu changes with every major version of icu so when there
is a possible system icu, you get libicu36 on RHEL-5 and libicu38 on
RHEL-6 etc. (or whatever the exact numbers are). Anyway, point is that
savings are worthwhile for universal Linux builds too I guess.
