Subject: evil behaviour for enable-multibyte-characters

This _HAS_ to be buffer-local if it is supposed to mimic the same variable
under Emacs 20.x

Without this, packages that (correctly) set enable-multibyte-characters can
screw each other over.  And individual applications should *NOT* have to
make this buffer-local themselves.
