I agree with Terje here. An alternative would be to change
$NKF to point to 'cat' or a similar no-op filter program.
Maybe you have to adjust (remove!) the options where the
command is called.

Not at the moment. There are some patches (not from me, but
from a colleague) to change from nkf to iconv, which is both
more widely available and supports more encodings.
This is something I'm bugging Gerald from time to time (I hope
he reads this mail!).
