I had already done this to my other scripts on 2008-09-28 (commit
c67885d880) but missed Unicode/gen-case.
Update it, and list it in COPYING.
(Although Unicode/gen-case is part of the source tree, this version of
ELinks does not use that file for anything.)
(cherry picked from elinks-0.12 commit c7602eb744)
Bug 932 is about ELinks letting control characters 0x80...0x9F through
to the terminal. It did not occur with ISO 8859-1, 8859-2, 8859-15,
or 8859-16, because the ELinks mappings for those charsets did not
include those bytes. However, the www.unicode.org versions imported
in the previous commit do include the problematic bytes.
To avoid a possible regression before the ELinks 0.12.0 release,
comment those control-character mappings out again. This workaround
should be reverted after bug 932 has been fixed properly.
Add copyright and licence notices, and a NEWS entry.
The data in the new versions is not entirely the same as what ELinks
used to have:
- Unicode/8859_1.cp: Adds control characters.
- Unicode/8859_2.cp: Adds control characters.
- Unicode/8859_4.cp: Adds some control characters that ELinks assumed
there already.
- Unicode/8859_7.cp: Adds three characters.
- Unicode/8859_15.cp: Adds control characters.
- Unicode/8859_16.cp: Adds control characters and swaps 0xA5 with 0xAB.
- Unicode/koi8_r.cp: Changes 0x95 and adds some control characters
that ELinks assumed there already.
- Unicode/macroman.cp: Changes 0xC6 and removes some control characters
that ELinks assumes there anyway.
The primary motivation for this change is that the disclaimer now
refers to the author whereas it used to refer to the copyright holder.
The ISC license is the preferred license for new code in OpenBSD.

I am also removing the reference to "the same terms as Perl itself"
because those terms are not being distributed with ELinks. Anyway,
Perl 5 is dual licensed under the Artistic License and the GNU General
Public License (version 1 or later), and the ISC license seems GPL
compatible to me.
Previously, each mapping between a codepage byte and a Unicode
character was stored as a struct table_entry, which listed both the
byte and the character. This representation may be optimal for sparse
mappings, but codepages map almost every possible byte to a character,
so it is more efficient to just have an array that lists the Unicode
character corresponding to each byte from 0x80 to 0xFF. The bytes are
not stored but rather implied by the array index. The tcvn5712 and
viscii codepages have a total of four mappings that do not fit in the
arrays, so we still use struct table_entry for those.
This change also makes cp2u() operate in O(1) time and may speed up
other functions as well.
The "sed | while read" concoction in Unicode/gen-cp looks rather
unhealthy. It would probably be faster and more readable if rewritten
in Perl, but IMO that goes for the previous version as well, so I
suppose whoever wrote it had a reason not to use Perl here.

So the text section shrank by 7390 bytes.

So 34464 bytes were moved from the data section to the text section
and should be more likely to get shared between ELinks processes.

This also fixes b.delta to have the correct value 0x03B4. The main difference
to ELinks' entity database is:
- entities not in the unicode database from 1997:
Scomma, Tcomma, euro, scomma, tcomma
- obsolete entities kept for compatibility:
emdash, endash, hibar
The root makefile is converted as well as some leaf Makefiles. This
also brings in the required infrastructure and adjusts configure.in
appropriately.
I converted only makefiles containing no configurable stuff, since
that'll require more consideration yet.
