Wait, but it does look at $LANG, in sh.c, to decide some bunch of stuff.

Which problems are you referring to, exactly? It appears that ``set
nokanji'' completely negates at runtime the effect of -DKANJI being
compiled in; and in the same way, ``unset dspmbyte'' will disable
the multibyte keymaps (but won't enable using the Meta key, contrary
to what the manpage says; it appears you still need ``set nokanji'' for
this).

Suppose we flip the logic and require ``set kanji'' for the compiled-in
support to *start* working, will that be better? :)
