split-harfbuzz.patch

Avoid installation of MONTSTEROUS ICU library with light-weight DMs like XFCE
as it unconditionaly sucked in to system via pango->harfbuzz->icu dependency
chain.
This patch strip off ICU-dependent part of harfbuzz into separate port named
hardbuzz-icu. Grepping shows that the only users of harfbuzz icu backend are
libreoffice, chromium and webkit-gtk, so resulting patch is not very big.
