We're talking past each other.  Compare show_host_charset_name
(which has an auto setting) to show_target_charset_name (which does
not).

If the default becomes dependent on the target, we need to distinguish
"user specified iso-8859-1" or "user didn't say anything, but now
we're debugging i686-mingw32, and that usually uses cp1252".
