One question: What is a good way to find out the encoding of a file?
help/help_mp-mk.h is marked as UTF-8, but this is wrong.  file does not
say that it is UTF-8-encoded as it does for some other help files and
the file looks wrong in vim on my UTF-8 system (although I see seemingly
correct cyrillic with cat and less..).  Also, iconv complains about
"iconv: illegal input sequence at position 3839" when converting the
file to UTF-8...
