The CVS code is from Sunday or Monday. After applying your patch  
nothing changes for my simple test (emacs-22.0.50 -Q). I did it also  
for °, which can't be found in ISO 8859-7 and ISO 8859-8 although it  
exists there additionally/instead of ä.

For ­, U+00AD HYPHEN-MINUS, the most common character, I get when  
starting from ISO 8859-1:

	failure: ISO 8859-2, ISO 8859-3, ISO 8859-4, ISO 8859-5, ISO 8859-7,  
ISO 8859-8, ISO 8859-9, ISO 8859-14, ISO 8859-15
        success: ISO 8859-10, ISO 8859-13, ISO 8859-16

although in all these 13 encodings it's (oct/dec/hex) 255 - 173 - AD.  
Starting the search for HYPHEN-MINUS in an ISO 8859-15 encoded file  
it's found in no other ISO 8859 encoded file.


This is not satisfactory. This is not unified.
