I think we should keep the original .txt files because:

- It allows to track the changes in the original file if we decide to change the map files.

- The site http://x0213.org/ may disappear in the future. If that happens, we will lose track data how we create the
mapfiles.
 

I believe we'd better to follow the same way how src/timezone keeps
the original timezone data.

Above reasoning will not valid if we have a way to reconstruct the
original txt files from the map files, I doubt it's worth the
trouble to create such tools however.
