You have to replace other files (CaseFolding.txt, PropList.txt, etc)
in unidata dir to the same newer version.  Also, you should note that
these files other than UnicodeData.txt have the same licencing
problem.

I'm curious about why Perl data do not have a licencing problem.  What
starategy Perl people used?  Maybe we could solve the problem in the
same way.

The locales come from icu.  (icu-i18ndata in Debian?)  The mappings
come from libc locales.

Finally, you may want to check the library after the change.
