Hello folks, just a few updates:

* ICU's LayoutEngine is officially deprecated in favor of HarfBuzz,
starting in ICU v54. http://userguide.icu-project.org/layoutengine

* I've opened a ticket, http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/11023 to
make the ICU layout*ex* (ParagraphLayout) library a standalone module,
building against the non-layout rest of ICU plus HarfBuzz's wrapper. 
Please add any comments to that ticket.

* The HarfBuzz-in-JDK project is hopefully kicking off soon, as seen in
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/announce/2013-October/000154.html

Regards,
Steven
