[HarfBuzz] Compiling harfbuzz-ng under Mac OS 10.6

[Behdad Esfahbod]

In general you need to provide harfbuzz with a set of Unicode Character
Database implementation.  Both the glib and ICU code you see in there do that.
 Lacking those, you must find another way to get access to that data.  Without
it, basic shaping works, but more advanced features fail.
