The current CVS version of bbdb.el has bogusly changed the coding
system for .bbdb in Emacs 21 to mule-utf-8.  That's not, and never
will be, a universal coding system:

  (memq 'mule-utf-8
        (find-coding-systems-string (string (make-char 'chinese-gb2312 68 99)
                                            (make-char 'chinese-gb2312 58 67))))
    => nil

[And before someone says it encodes gb2312 in some unreleased version
or with an add-on:  yes, I wrote the support, and it's beside the
point.]

Is the change supposed to fix some problem I could address, or just
due to utf-8 fundamentalism?
