Is anyone opposed to me including the following patches for this
charset support feature?

Okay, so let me get this straight.  Because certain browsers which
understand multiple charsets are not sending charset information to the
server properly (in proper Accept-Charset patterns), we need to guess what
it'll be?  This is the same rathole, I suppose, as the content
type negotiation situation, but it's more like the (im)possibility of
trying to determine if a particular plug-in is installed.  For example,
the above "GuessCharset" directive example means "if you're using X
Newtscape, you can probably understand the KOI8-R charset".  Bullshit,
it's exactly like saying all MacNetscape's are running with the Shockwave
plug-in installed.  

We should definitely support charset in negotiation algorithms - and I
thought we did, but this patch may be fixing that if not.  

I guess if we want to make this just another variable that could be set
using my "BrowserMatch" proposal from Sunday, fine.
