Thanks for the various responses, both public and private. In part because
Barry made the leap back from XEmacs to GNU Emacs (and I trust Barry in all
things Emacs), I decided to dip my toe back into the GNU water. I needed to
install a recent version of VM, but it does do utf-8, so my original problem
is solved. In response to Anders, I had tried 21.5b28 awhile ago but backed
off from it. I no longer recall why.
My only issues now are:
* make sure the ediff and vc packages recognize version-controlled files
(It seems they do, but I haven't put them through their paces)
* replace the GNU python.el with python-mode.el from the python-mode
project (formerly distributed with Python, but now all grown up and moved
away).
