While standard-display-european may make unibyte the default, it
doesn't seem to actually disable multibyte support.  I can run

        emacs -q --unibyte --eval '(standard-display-european 1)'

and the HELLO file still displays with some Asian, Cyrillic, Hebrew
and other characters, and enable-multibyte-characters still winds up
set to t in the help buffer.
