The `string-make-unibyte' takes the lower 8 bits, the
`multibyte-string-to-unibyte' sets the value according to the current
coding system. e.g. Hebrew Kof (0xc77 in MULE for iso-8859-8) will be
0x77 by `string-make-unibyte' and 0xF7 by my function.

As Eli pointed out, my function works like `decode-coding-string' with
the current coding system.

Ehud.
