Testcase please. IMHO they are right, as it is impossible to reliably decide
between, say, ISO-8859-1 and KOI8-R based only on manpage contents (without
using a dictionary containing the translation of, say, "NAME" for all
languages). I.e., the old version was likely to give wrong answers anyway,
that's why this feature was removed. Could you please test both old and
new "file" on manual pages installed by Man-1.6f?
