?? The current mule-charsets.el produces only MULE-*
charsets.
The necessity of the file arises only in the following case:
* There occurs a disaster and only
admin/charsets/mapfiles/*.map are lost from all the
world.
Isn't it ridiculous to prepare for such a case?
Another necessity of the file, which is my original
intention, is to provide the information about from where
those maps comes, how those maps are created.

I'll repeat that running that file with Emacs 23 is
meaningless as well as generating 8859-1.map by Emacs 23.
If you think that keeping *.el that doesn't run in the
latest Emacs is a bad thing, perhaps the better way to keep
the information I wrote above is not by the Lisp file but by
a document which may contain the code in mule-charset.el
(the original one) as just a reference.
If you agree, I'll delete mule-charset.el and add proper
information to admin/charsets/mapfiles/README.
