Re: No sources for lisp/international/uni-*.el?

    Maybe we should just add the admin/ directory to the source tarballs.
    WDYT?

That is an option, but adding just the admin/unidata directory would
be enough.

If consider those as part of Emacs, so that the GPL applies, then
the GPL requires inclusion of unidata-gen.el because it's a script
for compilation, and likewise requires UnicodeData.txt because
it's the source they are compiled from.

Here's an idea.  We could make a second tarball with admin/unidata, or
perhaps all of admin, and say that the full Emacs sources consist of
both together.  People who redistribute source ought to redistribute both,
but users won't have to download both.
