The "old" harfbuzz has a "contrib" directory containing
implementations of some Unicode functions used by the Chromium browser
on Linux.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz.old/tree/contrib

With more insight into how everything fits together, I think this was
a mistake; we actually have ICU available and didn't need to duplicate
the data tables.  (And it has pieces like a "reverse" script run
iterator which is the wrong way of doing things.)
