Of course these tables are all wrong but this is another problem.For example,
this table specifies that the capital form of έ is
Έ which is wrong because uppercase letters do not get accents,expect when they
start a sentence or the name of a person (e.g.,Έλενα). Since the Unicode
consortium is not going to change this,I have added the correct \uccodes and
\lccodes in xgreek.sty

This has of course come up before, and I'd like to add to the expl3 case
changers. However, I've not been able to track down any formal statement
on the case mappings: are they in the UCD, some official publication, ...?
