From a technical point of view, AFAICT there is no reason to prefer
either state of affairs, i.e. between treating the Unicode data as
something distributed alongside Emacs vs part of Emacs.

This would be an inconvenience to redistributors. Simply including
admin/ in the source tarball is just an extra 4 Mb (unzipped), which
doesn't seem unreasonable. So I prefer to go that route.
