(byte-compile-insert-header): Do not look for multibyte characters here. Generate the right file header for use if there are none. Insert a line of semicolons for subsequent deletion if needed. (byte-compile-fix-header): New function. This updates the file header if the file uses multibyte characters. (byte-compile-from-buffer): Call byte-compile-insert-header before compiling, and byte-compile-fix-header at the end.
