   short description

   test suite; currently only koi8-r tests, but the suite can be
   easily extended

   the very patch; to apply: patch < locale.patch; should be applied
   to postgres-6.3.2 (at least I created it with 6.3.2 without any
additional
   patches)

I extended locale support. Now ORDER BY (if PostgreSQL configured with
--enable-locale) uses strcoll() for all text fields: char(n), varchar(n),
text. (I am not sure about ORDER BY char2/char4/etc.)
I included test suite .../src/test/locale. I didn't include this in
the regression test because not so much people require locale support. Read
.../src/test/locale/README for details on the test suite.
Many thanks to Oleg Bartunov (oleg@sai.msu.su) and Thomas G. Lockhart
(lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu) for hints, tips, help and discussion.
Oleg.
