Also the file NSCharacterSetData.h seems like auomatically generated

distributing free software.
The charsets are provided both in the header files in the source code
and (less readably) in the old data files.
The location of the utilities used to generate the files is given in
the readme file in the NSCharacterSets directory containing those
data files.
If that is not too big, can we merge them into base or make?
Of course we could ... but I can see no reason to do so, any more
than we should merge gcc into the base or make package.(less in
fact ... gcc is generally useful).
Perhaps you want to do something worthwhile here though ... I can see
some value if you want to produce a new utility to reliably download
charset data from the unicode website, convert it to the format in
which it is used in the base library, compare it with the built-in
data, and produce a warning if the base library is no longer up to
date. That would save us the effort of doing it manually once every
few years.
