I think this is the best guess, and that's what is already done in md5.c.
In md5_coding_system() at line 484:
[If string, not buffer, then]
/* Attempt to autodetect the coding of the string. This is
VERY hit-and-miss. */
enum eol_type eol = EOL_AUTODETECT;
coding_system = Fget_coding_system (Qundecided);
determine_real_coding_system (XLSTREAM (istream),
&coding_system, &eol);
