Ah, sorry for forgetting to answer it. The reason is that
those files are generated from
admin/unidata/UnicodeData.txt. This file is about 1M byte,
so I thought it was too big to be included in a tarball.
The total of generated uni-*.el is about 200K.

I didn't know about admin/make-tarball.txt. Now I agree
that we don't have to put uni-*.el in CVS tree. Perhaps, we
should add a comment about the requirement of bootstrap at
somewhere in make-dist.
