I never had time to do more than a quick glance at the code.
I'll try
to work on this in the coming weeks as I can, so if there's any
updates, I'd like to be notified.
Sure, I haven't had time to work on it either, as you have noticed,
I'm sure, :-/
Are these 8bit coding systems something I'll have to backport
from
21.5?
Oops. Yes, and that may not be as trivial as I thought. They use the
Unicode charset to identify characters, which are then translated to
Mule code using the native `unicode-to-char' function. There were
also changes to the C code to accomodate fixed-width, but I'm not sure
how extensive that was (perhaps just deriving 'fixed-width as a
subtype of 'ccl coding system type). This work was done by Aidan,
mostly in Sept-Nov 2009 according to the ChangeLog.
Come to think of it, there were a bunch of fixes or changes by Aidan
to the CCL engine over the years, not all of which made it into 21.4,
and presumably not into SXEmacs either. Searching for "ccl" in the
ChangeLogs for 21.4 and 21.5 should find them.
Sorry I can't be of more help
