I think this is the makefile line that produces that file (from
admin/unidata/Makefile):

${top_srcdir}/src/macuvs.h: ${srcdir}/uvs.el ${srcdir}/IVD_Sequences.txt | \
  ${srcdir}/uvs.elc
        $(AM_V_GEN)${emacs} -L ${srcdir} -l uvs \
          --eval '(uvs-print-table-ivd (unmsys--file-name 
"${srcdir}/IVD_Sequences.txt") "Adobe-Japan1")' \
          > $@


This runs Emacs, which is a native MinGW program at this point. I don't
think we want to build an MSYS version just for this :).

That invokes this fuction (in admin/unidata/uvs.el):

(defun uvs-print-table-ivd (filename collection-id
                                     &optional sequence-id-to-glyph-func)
  "Print a C array definition of a UVS table for IVD Sequences.
FILENAME specifies the IVD Sequences file.  COLLECTION-ID is a
string specifying the identifier of the collection to
extract (e.g., \"Adobe-Japan1\").  SEQUENCE-ID-TO-GLYPH-FUNC is a
function to convert an identifier string of the sequence to a
glyph number, and nil means to convert \"CID\\+[0-9]+\" to the
corresponding number."
  (or sequence-id-to-glyph-func
      (setq sequence-id-to-glyph-func
            (lambda (sequence-id)
              (string-match "\\`CID\\+\\([[:digit:]]+\\)\\'" sequence-id)
              (string-to-number (match-string 1 sequence-id)))))
  (let ((uvs-alist
         (with-temp-buffer
           (insert-file-contents filename)
           (uvs-alist-from-ivd collection-id
                               sequence-id-to-glyph-func))))
    (princ "/* Automatically generated by uvs.el.  */\n")
    (princ
     (format "static const unsigned char mac_uvs_table_%s_bytes[] =\n  {\n"
             (replace-regexp-in-string "[^_[:alnum:]]" "_"
                                       (downcase collection-id))))
    (with-temp-buffer
      (set-buffer-multibyte nil)
      (uvs-insert-alist-as-bytes uvs-alist)
      (uvs-dump))
    (princ "  };\n")))


`uvs-dump' uses `terpri' to insert the newline; that inserts "\n". So this
needs a `set-buffer-file-coding-system'?

I don't see where the buffer is actually written to the file.


On the other hand, why has no other MinGW builder seen this before?
