Yes, that would be easily doable. What do others think? If this is not too
much clutter of the import menu I am going to implement that.

We should not do that. Some programs (including file) pretend to be able to
detect encodings automatically. But it is the very nature of encodings that
you have to specify which one you use. Those programs that try to detect
the encoding do use some heuristics. Some fail quite often (IIRC kwrite),
others do mostly work (e.g. vim), but since this cannot work reliably I do
not want to risk damaging a file of non-CJK LyX simply because it might be
one of CJK-LyX.
