Re: [PATCH] unicode: refactor the rule for regenerating utf8data.h

[Theodore Ts'o]

Thanks, for the suggestion and the patch!  I agree it's much better
with your proposed change (and it gets mkutf8data out of your hair :-)

I did need to make one change to your patch in order for it to work
correctly with a build directory.  That is, to support

	make -O /build/ext4 REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 fs/unicode/

I'll apply it to the ext4 git tree with this change.
