OK, should I default the coding system to `undecided'? BTW, Jareth,
could you please enter this discussion? I still haven't heard back
from you regarding md5.c. I'd like to know that my changes to it are
correct before attempting to work more on that file.
Your changes work just fine on my test cases. I don't have a problem
with it at all. As for changing the coding system to undecided, what
does that buy us? I think we've got enough decision logic in there at
the moment to cover the bases. What we really need to do is rethink
Mule and coding system functionality completly.

Well, that variable doesn't look very useful then.
At the moment, it is next to useless. None of the environments
properly set it. Again, serious rethinking is needed.
