I did a quick look, please let me yell "Great, That's what I want"!

I have another question here. I noticed that the data files were
combined to a .dat file in the version 3.4 other than previous. I
wonder whether my change in the source/data/unidata/UnicodeData.txt
will affect the output data? That is, if I change a defination of
0x0000 in the .txt file, would it be changed in the distribution?

Thanks again for your great help.
