Solaris patch for ICU 1.8.1

[George R. <gr...@us...>]

Hello all,

For those of you that have a Solaris machine with a newer compiler and 
cannot wait for ICU 2.0, you can now download a patch.  Other bug fixes 
will go into ICU 2.0, and are not included in this patch.  This patch is 
only meant to help those people with a newer CC compiler on Solaris and 
cannot build ICU 1.8.1.

You can get the patch from here: 
http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/download/1.8.1/icu-1-8-1-solaris-patch.tar.gz

To install it, just copy the uncompressed files over your existing ICU 
1.8.1 source code.

This patch addresses the following issues:
* Better detection of a 64-bit compiler on a 64-bit platform (j810)
* Properly builds the ustdio library on Sun WorkShop 6 (j1017)
* Fixes the ucol_tok.cpp compiler problem on Sun WorkShop 6  (j1022)
* Fixes a random buffer alignment problem on the *_safeClone functions on 
64-bit platforms (j1244)
