It appears to work. But I am not sure whether there are some side
effects in Emacs. Actually, more than one files contain such lines. If
no side effects, maybe we should change all of them.  Moreover, some
.el and .texi files have coding variables in the headers, which
doesn't work in XEmacs either (unfortunately, the recent CVS Emacs
breaks the coding system setting of emacs-mime.texi because of a bug.)
