Fair enough.

Do you mean this message:

Message-ID: <46848E81.8080602 at project7.ru>
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2007 08:45:53 +0400
From: Evgenie Medvedev <medvedev at project7.ru>
Subject: [XeTeX] An (almost) complete cyrunicode.tex
Reply-To: Unicode-based TeX for Mac OS X and other platforms  
<xetex at tug.org>


in which Evgenie provides a file cyrunicode.tex
including a list of declarations:

Content-Type: text/plain;
  name="cyrunicode.tex"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline;
  filename="cyrunicode.tex"

%% Basic cyrillic letters for Russian.

\DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x0410}{\CYRA}
\DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x0430}{\cyra}
\DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x0411}{\CYRB}
\DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x0431}{\cyrb}
\DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x0412}{\CYRV}
...


Certainly I could include this directly in  xunicode.sty .
--- with  Evgenie's  permission, of course.

You think it best to have all this in one file?
Or is it better to have a package option that causes
   cyrunicode.tex  to be read after normal loading?
