Hi Jan,

I would recommend that you place the generate-data script in 
make/scripts; it's the default location for scripts -- make/data is 
reserved for, eh, data. :) But a bit more descriptive name would be 
suitable when moving it away from make/data/symbols -- perhaps 
generate-symbol-data?

Also, the update to the README file does not seem correct. I assume you 
want to point to the new generate-data script, but the path is wrong 
(even for the location in your current patch).

Finally, we in the build team always appreciates if you cc build-dev for 
changes in the make directory, even if it's not strictly part of the 
build system.
