Heikki Linnakangas db29620d4d Work around Windows locale name with non-ASCII character.
Windows has one a locale whose name contains a non-ASCII character:
"Norwegian (Bokmål)" (that's an 'a' with a ring on top). That causes
trouble; when passing it setlocale(), it's not clear what encoding the
argument should be in. Another problem is that the locale name is stored in
pg_database catalog table, and the encoding used there depends on what
server encoding happens to be in use when the database is created. For
example, if you issue the CREATE DATABASE when connected to a UTF-8
database, the locale name is stored in pg_database in UTF-8. As long as all
locale names are pure ASCII, that's not a problem.

To work around that, map the troublesome locale name to a pure-ASCII alias
of the same locale, "norwegian-bokmal".

Now, this doesn't change the existing values that are already in
pg_database and in postgresql.conf. Old clusters will need to be fixed
manually. Instructions for that need to be put in the release notes.

This fixes bug #11431 reported by Alon Siman-Tov. Backpatch to 9.2;
backpatching further would require more work than seems worth it.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
