java.lang.Character

I'm trying to merge java.lang.Character with Classpath. Classpath uses
two scripts to generate the Unicode database used by Character, but
stores them in the odd location classpath/doc/unicode/*.pl because the
UnicodeData-3.0.0.txt file lives there. Should I create that directory
in libjava, or should I place the scripts in the libjava/scripts/
directory? If I do place them in the scripts/ directory, I'll move them
in the classpath distribution to match. And should I add the
UnicodeData-3.0.0.txt and supporting files to the gcj distribution? If
so, what directory would be the best location for them?
I'm no automake wizard, but is it worth trying to add some sort of rule
to automatically regenerate gnu/java/lang/CharData.java? I figure that
it is done infrequently enough (mainly, whenver the JDK moves to a new
version of the Unicode standard) that leaving it as a manual operation
won't hurt.
