I don't use this package. The file in focus was taken by upstream from
other source code.
The source unicon provides unicon-imc2. It is a dependency for zhcon.
It is a recomend for task-chinese-s, task-korean and task-chinese-t.
These are recommeds for live-task-localisation.
The popcon for unicon-imc2 and for zhcon are 1481 and 1484.
I suggest to see if unicon builds without the file. I did a primitive
test and yes, builds. However is needed a better test.
Regards,
Eriberto
