| I have to say I think this is a good/reasonable idea. The Java runtime implements its Locale and Calendar support using libicu, and AFAIK it is the only portable library implementing this sort of functionality. It is almost certainly already present on most significant platforms supported by GNUstep. A quick check of the systems I have access to shows it to be already present on everything but AIX (ironic, since IBM is a principal contributor). It is portable to Windows, too, and is used in MacOS X as well.

If someone can recommend a library that does these things already, then I'd suggest that we implement support for the Gregorian calendar (which most of our users will be using) ourselves and then add optional support for others if the library is present.
A few months ago, some one mentioned implementing NSCalendar/NSLocale using libicu:
