I don't know.  A lot of the MULE stuff is so under-documented.  The
documentation for `detect-coding-string' doesn't actually promise to
return _all_ possible coding systems.  It turns out that it _can_ detect
euc-kr (AKA korean-iso-8bit) if you choose the right language
environment:

   (set-language-environment "Korean")
   (detect-coding-string (encode-coding-string "¾È³ç" 'euc-kr))
   => (korean-iso-8bit iso-latin-1 raw-text chinese-big5 no-conversion)

I'll do that.
