Yes, that is better – an outside variable would also have been, but it
works for now.

I think matching the name and then doing (string-append "disabled_"
test) should work better and possibly lets you group some.

I think you should also 
  (define (find-ucd-files . files)
     (map find-ucd-file files))
Then you can

(apply invoke
       (append
        (find-ucd-files "UnicodeData.txt"
                        "PropList.txt"

        (list PropList-3.0.1.txt) ; or inline the origin here
        (find-ucd-files "EastAsianWidth.txt"
                        ...)))

Can we simplify this in terms of for-each and directory excursions?
Also reuse find-ucd-file(s).

Should we perhaps use copy-build-system instead and just copy over
gnu:build and gnu:test?
