Thank you for telling this.  I was really confused what is the correct 
way to help including bulgarian in GNU Emacs when noone replied to my 
mails.  (This is my second mail -- the previous one was about 2 months ago.)

Phonetic input method is the dominant in Bulgaria, but BDS (Bulgarian 
Country Standard keyboard layout) is important too.  BDS is much more 
suited for fast typing and some people love it very much.

If using 8859-5 is hidden from the user, why not? :)  As a bulgarian 
there are two points of interest:

1. Using windows-1251 for loading and storing files/buffers.
2. Using both bulgarian phonetic and bulgarian standard input methods.
   (Probably as different language environments as i've done.)
