That function is in lisp/international/ja-dic-cnv.el.  When
you put a new SKK-JISYO.L (not SKK-JYSHO.L) under
leim/SKK-DIC, and run make under the leim directory, new
ja-dic.el and ja-dic.elc should be created.  Have you tried
it?

When we discussed that matter long ago, we decided to
include all source data of input methods because the
compressed sizes are not that huge compared with the whole
tarball of Emacs.  Is the new SKK-JISYO.L much bigger than
the current one?

Perhaps we should consider moving SKK-JISYO.L (and the other
big files) to `admin' directory which is not included in the
tarball.
