Re: RFC: (set-xkb-cyrillic-charset "koi8-r") for non-Mule XEmacs

Check out x-keysym-hash-table and x-keysym-on-keyboard-p and its implementation.

For some things, like the C language, this was a good decision. But for other things, like `make' and iso8859-5, a reality check would be useful. In Sun's defence, iso8859-5 was the Soviet government's idea. I don't know if the Russian government has abandoned iso8859-5 officially, or recommended a new ISO standard for Cyrillic. I'm sure it's all very political.
