At first, I have installed a mechanism of auto-loading a
coding system. As Dave suggested long ago, I added a code
to auto-load a coding system in the function
Fcheck_coding_system. See the change in code-pages.el which
adds one autoload cookie for iso-8859-11 as an example.
I have not yet tested it fully. We may have to add GCPROs
in several places.

I agree that we should avoid creating many many predefined
language environments.

Right. I think what we need for language environment is a
mechanism similar to face; i.e. creating a new one easily
while allowing inheriting, and customizing an existing one
easily.

For instance, in such a case, we can allow people to create
a new lang. env. by inheriting, for instance, Russian, and
modifying coding-system to windows-1251.
C-h L (describe-language-environment) should also have
these clickable lines:
You can customize this language environment.
and
You can create a new language environment that inherits
this language environment.
