Perl_is_utf8_string(pTHX_ U8 *s, STRLEN len)

Why do we have code dup for Perl_is_utf8_string_loc() ?
[ 23084]
NI-S: IMHO utf8_upgrade is just changing representation not the value
so it has no business calling SvSETMAGIC.
[ 23085]
Bodge to make Tk work - like the UTF8 flag, the READONLY flag has too
many meanings. const const vs mutable in this case.

First step to generating Unicode files for the regexp engine at build
time - targets in the Makefile
[ 22873]
Convert to using File::Spec, so that we can build Unicode files
on all platforms
[ 22879]
Run mktables as part of the build process.
Don't ship any of the files that it generates in lib/unicore
[ 22880]
Don't need to require utf8_pva.pl at top of file
[ 22881]
replace the run time code in lib/utf8_pva.pl with data generated
at build by mktables, stored in lib/unicore/PVA.pl

'make test' without preceeding 'make' fails.
Change #22872 added a target to run mktables, but this was
skipped if 'make test' was run first, causing the build of
Unicode::Normalize to fail.
[ 22963]

Can't test the B modules if we didn't build 'em

Unicode::UCD uses Storable, so we can't test if Storable isn't built.

D'oh. Don't turn on warnings on the #! line without actually testing
the full code in case it warns.

[perl #30061] double DESTROY in for loop
pp_iter decremented the ref count of the previous iterant before
unaliasing it. This could lead to DESTROY being called with the
loop variable still aliased to the freed value. If the DESTROY
also contained a for loop with the same iterator variable, the
freed value would get resurrected then freed for a second time.
