I hope to fix this with v2.6.0 of MHonArc.  MHonArc::CharEnt has
been updated to handle iso-2022-jp, and to convert it to Unicode
character entity references (with ASCII data be left as-is).
MHonArc::CharEnt does not rely on any Unicode support of Perl, so
it should work with perl < 5.6 (testers are welcome!).

The decision to be made is if MHonArc::CharEnt should replace
iso2022jp.pl as the default converter for iso-2022-jp?

Takashi was kind to provide a simple example, so there is no
need to open up your archives.

Remember, snapshot releases can be unstable.

If you try it out, please do it under a test environment.  I
run snapshot builds on private archives I maintain, but I am able
to rebuild the archives in case of any major screw-ups.
