         sys-file-encoding: Put the buffer-read-only declaration at the very 
top.
         
         This accidentally got pushed down when license notices were added to a
         bunch of files en masse.  It only works if it's at the top.

If this file is generated, then why do we have it in GIT at all?  Let's
generate it as part of the build process (or if that is impractical as part
of the pre-configure process)

Otherwise, how can we be sure that the generation process acutally works?

When I run perl src/data/sys-file-encodings.c I get the message:

To regenerate the encoding data, get the latest ICU encoding data from:
http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/trunk/source/data/mappings/convrtrs.txt

But that URL returns 404
