Re: gnus should accept UTF8 even if UTF-8 is standard

    For instance, "% iconv -l", lists these variants for
    iso-8859-1:

    "ISO-8859-1", "ISO88591" "8859_1", "ISO_8859-1"

The reading of coding system names could treat hyphens as optional,
and could treat underscores as equivalent to hyphens.  Then
with just two names, iso-8859-1 and 8859-1, it would recognize
all of these and more.

    In addition, we must add (partial) lowercase versions.
    Partial means something like this: Iso ISo isO

That's trivial, just ignore case when reading the coding system name.
