The target keeps moving fast, doesn't it?

Great Work! Thank you for noticing and for doing this.

I have had a look through the diff, and it looks fine to me. Only a
couple of really minor comments:

In pcre_tables.c there is a small typo in the comment /* 11 Other */
which should now be /* 12 Other */, and perhaps there should be
something added to the comments at the top of GenerateUtt.py and
MultiStage2.py to show that they are updated for 6.2.0. Finally, there
should be an entry in ChangeLog.

The next release, with updated \X and case-folding handling, UTF-32, and
6.2.0 is turning into very much a "Unicode release". For a big change
such as adding UTF-32 I might normally have suggested we call it 8.40,
but the number 8.32 just has to be right!

Philip
