Since this is about a development version of Emacs, we should move
this elsewhere. See INSTALL.CVS.

Indeed, window-1252 is not a language (I know, there's a "Latin-1" language
environment, but it was just a mistake). I meant "the cp1252 coding system"
which is also sometimes called "windows-1252".

Good. But in that case, you shouldn't need the global-set-key binding to
insert a euro.

Assuming all this is with "emacs -q", it sounds like a bug. Please report
it with M-x report-emacs-bug.

Sounds very odd. What exactly did you do? What does
C-h v buffer-file-coding-system say after you load a file with a \200 euro?

As far as I know that's what it does already.
But I don't actually write or use the Windows part of the Emacs code, so
I may be wrong.
