[Erc-help] Kanji encoding issues

[Michael O. <mw...@gn...>]

Someone brought to my attention the fact that the latest ERC from CVS
head doesn't encode kanji characters properly.  I overhauled the way
that ERC handles encoding so that `encode-coding-string' is no longer
called, since this seems to be the only way to get around the problem.

I've tested the changes by transmitting messages between an instance
of ERC and Gaim, and the encoding seems to work properly.  No change
in configuration should be necessary.
