Oops, please use 'with-temp-buffer' instead. 'po-with-temp-buffer' is
for older versions of Emacs.

I thought it was more acceptable to you when commented out. Of course
it's better to have the proper 'if' conditionalization.

   (if (string-match "XEmacs\\|Lucid" emacs-version)
     (defun po-find-file-coding-system (operation filename)  ...)
     (defun po-find-file-coding-system (arg-list) ...))

Sure. I was lazy on this point because I think all possible encodings
should be provided by Emacs by default, and there should be no need to
explicitly 'setup' them.

Thanks, Eli!
