Changing emacs20 to use latin1 encoding by default.



There has been a discussion (Bug#27399) about making latin1 the
default encoding for emacs20.  Since I don't use anything other than
the standard encoding, and since I'm not an encoding expert, I wanted
to see what everyone else thinks about this.

The claim is that this is just a superset of the encoding we have now
as the default, and so it's strictly an improvement.

Even if true, there's something to be said for not screwing around
with the emacs defaults any more than necessary.  Perhaps this would
be better handled by suggesting it as an upstream change if it really
is just better.

Thoughts?
