It's often necessary when rebuilding a bleadperl to need to run
`git clean -dxf` to tidy up all the generated files (especially after
changing configuration options or a version number bump). This has the
effect of deleting every file not managed by git.
One annoyance is then that the next time you rebuild perl it spends a
very long time regenerating unicode tables, as part of
Processing Blocks.txt
Processing PropList.txt
Processing SpecialCasing.txt
...
I don't think that data changes very often, does it? Is it possible we
can instead build it in a regen script and keep the generated output
committed to git instead? This would make the repo/downloads slightly
larger, but make builds slightly faster. I don't know about other
people but I'd prefer that trade-off.
Thoughts?
