This could use a comment. At a quick glance, I don't understand what all
the $(wordlist ...) magic does.
Perhaps we should change the script or Makefile so that it doesn't
create all the maps in one go?

I'm surprised the added \n in the perl code didn't result in extra
newlines in the outputs.

If we do that, let's add the trailing commas to the other arrays too,
not just the combined maps.
No objection, but how does this help the next patch?
If we want to avoid the stray commas (and I think they are a little
ugly, but that's a matter of taste), we could adopt the approach that
print_radix_table() uses to avoid the comma. That seems simpler than
what print_from_utf8_combined_map and print_to_utf8_combined_map are doing.

Thanks!
