More or less they have that information - stored in help/*.charset
files. It's not easily available during runtime though. But there's the
--charset option to ./configure if one needs it. And I oppose
hard-coding utf-8 by default, as it breaks any non-english non-utf8
messages, which are working perfectly now.
Unless someone comes with a way to do it correctly, i.e. making gtk1,
gtk2, utf-8 consoles and non-utf consoles working. The gettext might be
a way. There is code to convert .h files to gettext's .po files, I'll
send it on request, all that is left is integrating it into configure.
The call to gettext is already there (in mp_msg.c), as are ones to
{bind,}textdomain.  Other thing that would be very nice (especially
considering how much we propagate CVS version) is to make it work with
.mo files made directly in source tree, without need to 'make install'.
