+
+NOTE: If you modify the input file set you should also run
+ 
+    mktables -makelist
+    
+which will recreate the mktables.lst file which is used to speed up
+the build process.    
+
+FOR PUMPKINS
+
+The files are inter-related.  If you take the latest UnicodeData.txt, for example,
+but leave the older versions of other files, there can be subtle problems.
+
+The *.pl files are generated from the *.txt files by the mktables script,
+more recently done during the Perl build process, but if you want to try
+the old manual way:
+       
+       cd lib/unicore
+       cp .../UnicodeOriginal/*.txt .
+       rm NormalizationTest.txt Unihan.txt Derived*.txt
+       p4 edit Properties *.pl */*.pl
+       perl ./mktables
+       p4 revert -a
+       cd ../..
+       perl Porting/manicheck
+
+You need to update version by hand
+
+       p4 edit version
+       ...
+       
+If any new (or deleted, unlikely but not impossible) *.pl files are indicated:
+
+       cd lib/unicore
+       p4 add ...
+       p4 delete ...
+       cd ../...
+       p4 edit MANIFEST
+       ...
+
+And finally:
+
+       p4 submit
