I put the new SKK-JYSHO.L in my tmp directory and run the command
skkdic-convert on the dictionary. It created ja-dic.el in my home
directory.

However when I eval ja-dic.el I get an error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range ">\x308fk \x5206" 6)
  string-match("[^ ]+" ">\x308fk \x5206" 6)
  (while (string-match "[^ ]+" entry i) (setq candidates (cons ... candidates)) 
(setq i (match-end 0)))
  (let ((kana ...) (i ...) candidates) (while (string-match "[^ ]+" entry i) 
(setq candidates ...) (setq i ...)) (cons (skkdic-get-kana-compact-codes kana) 
candidates))
  skkdic-extract-conversion-data(">\x308fk \x5206")

I think the following call generates the error :

(skkdic-extract-conversion-data ">わk 分")

However when I run it by itself it doesn't generate an error today,
yesterday it did. That is beyond my skill to fix.

Another issue with the new SKK-JYSHO.L is that it has some comments, for
example :

"あおt 煽;火を煽る 呷;酒を呷る"

My guess is that the block after ; should be ignored. I think 呷 should
be added as a candidate. I think I can fix that.

The new SKK-JISYO.L is 4.3M.

It sounds like a good idea, smaller tar ball saves bandwith.

Take care,
