cl-icu is a common lisp interface to IBM's unicode/i18n library ICU (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/). The goal of ICU is to provide convient i18n support to lisp applications by providing a convient interface to ICU.
Currently only basic date and number formatting are available (see sample/datefmt.lisp and samples/numfmt.lisp).
cl-icu is know to work on OpenMCl with ICU version 2.6, although the use of uffi and icu's relative api stability should minimize porting issuse. Due to some complexeties in loading libicui18n and libicuc please read the README file _before_ compiling and loading cl-icu, in particular you will probably have to edit a few files based on how icu was compiled.
