[issue1498930] Generate from Unicode database instead of manualy coding.

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal at egenix.com> added the comment:

You may not know it, but these functions are generated from the Unicode
database. 

However, because these functions need to be fast and are small enough,
they were not converted to the unicodetype_db approach and instead left
as they were originally implemented: as switch statements for the
compilers to optimize.

Is there any reason why this would need to change for Unicode 5.0 ?
