3# This does simple normalized frequency analysis on UTF-8 encoded text. The
4# result of the analysis is translated to a ranked list, where every byte is
5# assigned a rank. This list is written to src/freqs.rs.
6#
7# Currently, the frequencies are generated from the following corpuses:
8#
9#   * The CIA world fact book
10#   * The source code of rustc
11#   * Septuaginta
