Hi Pietro, and thanks for your comments.

Fine by me. In fact, this is probably better, since CHICKEN doesn't
provide an easy way to fetch the files; the current script just uses
curl(1) or wget(1) via 'system'. This is certainly a likely point of
failure.

The only issue I can see with manually refreshing the module sources
is that the egg's maintainer must remember to run the script once in a
while. I suspect this explains the current state of unicode-char-sets:
clearly the module was generated with a script, but the script hasn't
been run since 2007 & is, indeed, no longer included with the egg.

Switching to manual refresh is easy. If people like this idea, I'll
make the necessary (minor) changes to the script & egg-file patch.
