After a bit more reading, I think I figured it out. iso-cvt.el isn't
involved at all, but iso-transl.el is. I came up with the following in my
init.el file:
(defvar polish-language
'("Polish"
(",A" . [?Ą])
(",a" . [?ą])
("'C" . [?Ć])
("'c" . [?ć])
(",E" . [?Ę])
(",e" . [?ę])
("/L" . [?Ł])
("/l" . [?ł])
("'N" . [?Ń])
("'n" . [?ń])
("'O" . [?Ó])
("'o" . [?ó])
("'S" . [?Ś])
("'s" . [?ś])
("'Z" . [?Ź])
("'z" . [?ź])))
(require 'iso-transl)
(add-to-list 'iso-transl-language-alist polish-language)
The only pairs I didn't add were ".Z" and ".z" because "C-x 8 ." doesn't
lead to a keymap. I suppose I could cheat and use ",Z" and ",z", but I let
it go for now.
