Why are these things "wrong"?  I do them as part of the setup
to use Cygwin.  I do them in `setup-cygwin.el', which is,
incidentally, used by quite a few people AFAIK.

Anyway, I tried commenting out the first of those.  That did
change the text of the *Warning* buffer, so that it mentioned
utf-8 as one of the possibilities.  (Unfortunately, I still
cannot get the file saved, because Emacs crashes.  Again, the
autosave file looks fine in a new session, and shows U(Unix)
in the mode line.)

Attached is a screenshot of the *Warning* text after commenting
out that line.
