Is this deletion necessary? It's definitely possible that people with
= 21.5.6 would want to rebuild the table, depending on their needs
and possible changes in ISO 8859 -- I think Latin-10 is still pending,
and maybe -7 and -8. These would be reflected in the Unicode Consortium
tables, and eventually in our etc/unicode stuff.
If it's necessary, how about a rule
.PHONY: build-table
build-table: latin-unity-vars.elc latin-unity-utils.elc
$(BOOT_XEMACS) -l latin-unity-utils -f latin-unity-dump-tables
＠echo "*** You may see a few warnings about ISO 8859/3. ***"
＠echo "*** This is OK; it doesn't use all code points. ***"

No, I just commented it out for cleanliness because it wasn't going to
be used by the XPRM. But having it in there won't hurt anything.
It's going to be needed if/when building the tables becomes a safe
thing to do for everyone, so feel free to uncomment it again.
Anyone who wanted to build their own tables could simply 'make
latin-unity-tables.el' from latin-unity's source directory.

This would work too, but I wouldn't do it because if/when the tables
are _always_ built this would need to be renamed to
"latin-unity-tables.el". It might get forgotten.

Have you decided what to do with the package now? I would like to
release new packages and would prefer to see this change committed
beforehand, so I can put out the new version of the package.
Thanks,

Steve's method is fine, but I'm still working on other stuff in
latin-unity. Just put in a note that there are known bugs in
latin-unity that haven't been fixed, and the maintainer (that's me)
apologizes for the delay and welcomes inquiries about problems.
