o allow to use Big5 (a Chinese encoding used in Taiwan) as a client
encoding. In this case the server side encoding should be EUC_TW
o add EUC_TW and Big5 test cases to the regression and the mb test
(contributed by Jonah Kuo)
o fix mistake in include/mb/pg_wchar.h. An encoding id for EUC_TW was
not correct (was 3 and now is 4)
o update documents (doc/README.mb and README.mb.jp)
o update psql helpfile (bin/psql/psqlHelp.h)

support. Included patches will solve it and should be applied to
both trees. Also, it fix the problem with \c command of psql when
switching different encoding databases.
Regression tests passed.

if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb.
o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after
Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running
regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared.
regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute
'oid' not found
this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without
my patches. strange...
o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer
used, and shoud be removed.
o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in
#ifdef 0). seems nobody uses.

Attached are patches to enhance the multi-byte support. (patches are
against 7/18 snapshot)
* determine encoding at initdb/createdb rather than compile time
Now initdb/createdb has an option to specify the encoding. Also, I
modified the syntax of CREATE DATABASE to accept encoding option. See
README.mb for more details.
For this purpose I have added new column "encoding" to pg_database.
Also pg_attribute and pg_class are changed to catch up the
modification to pg_database. Actually I haved added pg_database_mb.h,
pg_attribute_mb.h and pg_class_mb.h. These are used only when MB is
enabled. The reason having separate files is I couldn't find a way to
use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks
ugly. No way.
* support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command
commands/copy.c modified.
* support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES"
See gram.y.
* support for LATIN2-5
* add UNICODE regression test case
* new test suite for MB
New directory test/mb added.
* clean up source files
Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance.
These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.
