Re: windows-1251 language environment

[Richard Stallman]

    The trouble with `language' environments is that they have little to
    do with the language per se.  If you're not going by system defaults
    (locales), I think you want to provide orthogonal customization of
    language, codeset, and other features.  If you lump them all together,
    you'll have probably four for each Western European language: latin-1,
    latin-9, windows-1252 and utf-8.

that wd be tru if thatwere the one and only way to spec all of them.
but we already have other ways in emacs.
