Looking at the comment, you only need the proplist, however, not
anything else.  I'd also experiment with providing an empty file in its
stead, but it doesn't matter too much as long as the hacks we need to
take are kept acceptably few.

If you want to use UCD 15, go ahead.  There is a ucd-next package that
has possibly fewer dependants, which ironically also points to UCD 14
atm.

As for the deleted files in some test directories, can we abbreviate
them with regular expressions or keep lists?

Cheers
