+To be 8.3-friendly, the lib/unicore/PropertyValueAliases.txt was
+renamed to be lib/unicore/PropValueAliases.txt and the
+lib/unicore/NamedSequencesProv.txt was renamed to be
+lib/unicore/NamedSqProv.txt, since otherwise they would have

+FOR PUMPKINS
+
+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
