I'll do that tomorrow (too late today to do the build).

Yes, ltunicode is a direct replacement for unicode-letters. Everything
the latter does is covered by ltunicode.

Yes. (We could happily make ltunicode loadable by plain, but that might

Yes, latest (7.0.0) Unicode data release.

Both EastAsianWidth.txt and LineBreak.txt have a version which we've
talked about copying in to the processed file. Regrettably, there is no
version in UnicodeData.txt: perhaps file size is the best plan, as you
