patch removing explicit encoding

Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

Hi!
Sorry for my English.

Various localized manual pages have a different character set (f.e. koi8-r in
Russia) and displayed incorrectly in khelpcenter because of an explicit
encoding (utf-8 or vorse ISO-8859-1) in the kio_man output.

If you apply a patch from the attachment and set encoding autodetection in the
khtml settings, then everything is displayed correctly.

For example for Russian locale khtml settins in file
~/.kde4/share/config/khelpcenterrc
[HTML Settings]
AutomaticDetectionLanguage=7
DefaultEncoding=

In addition to the attached patch it is have to have correct value for key
AutomaticDetectionLanguage in accordance with user-selected language(locale).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
launch khelpcenter -> Unix manual pages -> look any manual having an encoding
other than utf-8

Actual Results:  
an unrecoverable gibberish

Expected Results:  
readable manual page
