A couple of URLs of interest:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/intl/unicharutil/tools/

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/python/python/dist/src/Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py?rev=1.17&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Both show that these projects (at least) are mechanically deriving 
their internal unicode tables from UnicodeData.txt.
