I'm now working on merging nnrss.el into the v5-10 branch and I
noticed there are some German web sites using the windows-1252
encoding even if they declare that the encoding is iso-8859-1.
For instance, the following rss feed declares
encoding="ISO-8859-1" and uses characters in 0x80-0x9f which are
out of the iso-8859-1 specification.

I'm groping for the way (which can be used with old Emacsen too)
to solve the problem.

I've changed nnrss.el for the v5-10 branch so that it may use
`gnus-make-hashtable'.  In addition, there are other problems
which I've fixed in the local system:

time-date.el uses `#x10000' and `#xffff' which cannot be read by
Emacs 20.

`rfc2047-decode' won't work in XEmacs because
`mm-subst-char-in-string' doesn't allow the fourth argument.

I will commit those fixes together with nnrss.el and others.
