I haven't thought much about what a european environment means,
exactly - my focus has been on Asian environments, where getting the
correct encoding is much more of an issue.

The `native' encoding of XEmacs-latin-1 is iso8859-1, which is
represented in XEmacs-Mule as the 'binary coding-system.  Europeans
who live in an iso8859-1 world should be able to use XEmacs/Mule
in the default mode, without any language environment.  It's probably
a bug that there is no coding-system named iso-8859-1, which would be
an extension of ISO2022 with support for switching to other encodings
via escape sequences.

Would some European person like to maintain european-hooks.el?

Here's a patch to at least avoid an error on 
(set-language-environment 'european)
