Codepage stuff in mm-util.el

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

There's a lot of functions and variables dealing with code pages in
mm-util.el.  Reading the comments in the code and grepping for the
functions that it eventually calls, I get the feeling that this has all
been made obsolete in Emacs 25?  Is that correct?

Below are snippets from most of these functions.

(defun mm-codepage-setup (number &optional alias)

[...]

         (candidates (if (fboundp 'cp-supported-codepages)
                         (cp-supported-codepages)
                       ;; Removed in Emacs 23 (unicode), so signal an error:
                       (error "`codepage-setup' not present in this Emacs 
version"))))
     (list (gnus-completing-read "Setup DOS Codepage" candidates

[...]

(defcustom mm-codepage-iso-8859-list
  (list 1250 ;; Windows-1250 is a variant of Latin-2 heavily used by Microsoft

(defcustom mm-codepage-ibm-list
  (list 437 ;; (US etc.)
        860 ;; (Portugal)
        861 ;; (Iceland)

  ;; In Emacs 23 (unicode), cp... and ibm... are aliases.

(defun mm-charset-to-coding-system (charset &optional lbt
