[icu-design] ICU 49 API additions for Unicode 6.1

[Markus S. <mar...@gm...>]

Dear ICU team & users,

I am finally working on Unicode 6.1 in ICU. I am hoping for an easy update
since there are no new properties and it looks like I need not change any
data structures.
(See http://www.unicode.org/versions/beta-6.1.0.html)

There are a few new property *values*, and we will have new API for them.
They will be "born stable" as usual.

*C/C++*
