Checkout my horribly named repo gsoc-uni-benchmark:

https://github.com/DmitryOlshansky/gsoc-bench-2012/blob/master/gen_uni.d

This is what generates unicode tables.
Need to revise it, as folks were delicate enough to hand-patch 
auto-generated code in Phobos.

Maybe make some of that user-acessible.
