They were surely generated using an emacs of older version.
But, I don't think we must re-generate them on
self-boostrapping Emacs.  The map files are already there as
well as the other map files copied from some internet
sites.

Emacs 23/24 is built with those maps.  Thus generating those
maps by Emacs 23/24 is nonsense.
