I'm unable to build this on my Mac, configure gets error msg -

checking for icu-uc... no
configure: error: icu development files required

This is likely because of the new requirement for the libicu-devel package. I am using Homebrew for my Mac package manager and it only lists the icu4c package as available. I have that package installed, but it doesn't look like it has icu-uc.

Anyone have a suggestion and/or work-around? Maybe I have to wait 'til 3.0.0 is non-beta and Homebrew updates their stuff? I hope Mac users don't get shut out.
