Fix bootstrapping problems.
Use the system locale to specify Emacs locale defaults.
* international/mule-cmds.el (global-map):
Do not use backquote, because that makes a bootstrapping
problem if you need to recompile all Lisp files using interpreted code.
* international/mule.el (charset-id, charset-bytes,
charset-dimension, charset-chars, charset-width,
charset-direction, charset-iso-final-char,
charset-iso-graphic-plane, charset-reverse-charset,
charset-short-name, charset-long-name, charset-description,
charset-plist): Likewise.
* subr.el (save-match-data): Likewise.
* international/mule-cmds.el
(set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system): New function,
containing code migrated out of set-language-environment.
(set-language-environment, set-locale-environment): Use it.
(locale-translation-file-name): Moved here from startup.el.
(locale-language-names, locale-preferred-coding-systems):
New vars.
(locale-name-match, set-locale-environment): New functions.
* language/japan-util.el (setup-japanese-environment-internal):
Prefer japanese-iso-8bit if the system-type is usg-unix-v.
* startup.el (iso-8859-n-locale-regexp): Remove.
(locale-translation-file-name): Move to mule-cmds.el.
(command-line): Move locale-stuff into set-locale-environment.

README for Edition 2.5 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual. * This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex, which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of texinfo.tex. * Report Lisp Manual bugs to bug-lisp-manual@gnu.org. We don't read these bug reports until it's time for a new edition. To report other Emacs bugs, use bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. To ask questions, use the newsgroup gnu.emacs.help. * The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large. It totals around 900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two megabytes. * You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy using TeX. * You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation. For info, send mail to gnu@gnu.org or phone 617-542-5942. Buying a manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU development work. ** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make. Otherwise, here are detailed instructions: ** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this manual is included in this distribution. The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called `elisp.texi'. It contains @include commands to include all the chapters that make up the manual. In addition, `elisp.texi' has the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the @titlespec command. To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following commands in the shell: % ./configure % make index.texi % make elisp.dvi *** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment with `make-permuted-index'. ** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run `./configure' and `make elisp'. To install the Info files, run `make install'.
