[Tatsuya Kinoshita]

Hi Emacs developers,

Could you please consider applying the following patch to handle
non-ASCII characters with locale-coding-system for tmm.el?

The patch is created by Tetsuo Tsukamoto (czkmt at remus.dti.ne.jp)
at http://mail.ring.gr.jp/skk/200803/msg00009.html to prevent a
problem of displaying Japanese characters with tmm.el reported
by Noritada Kobayashi at Debian BTS http://bugs.debian.org/470646.

To reproduce the problem,

* Install Daredevil SKK 13.1 (http://openlab.jp/skk/) and Emacs
  23.0.60 or 22.2.

* Run Emacs with `LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 emacs -q'.

* Type `M-x skk-mode RET', `M-`' and `s' to select the menu `s==>SKK',
  and then garbled characters (\351\240\230...) are displayed.

The patch works nicely on my system for Debian's ddskk 13.1-1,
emacs22 22.1+1-3 and Romain's emacs-snapshot 1:20080406-2.

Thanks,
