Subject: [HACKERS] locale patches !

Hi there,

here are little patches to get Postgres 6.1 works with locale stuff.
This is a patch against 970402.tar.gz, there are no problem to apply them
by hand to 6.0 release. Collate stuff tested about 1-2 months in real
working database but I'm sure there must be no problem. US hackers
could vote against locale implementation ( locale for sure will affect to
speed of postgres ), so I introduce variable USE_LOCALE which
controls locale stuff. Non-US users now could use ~* operator
for searching and <order by> for strings with nation alphabet.
Please, don't forget, as I did first time, to set environment variable
LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE because backend get locale information from them.
I start postmaster from a little script, assuming that shell is Bash shell
it looks like:

#!/bin/sh

export LC_CTYPE=koi8-r
export LC_COLLATE=koi8-r
postmaster -B 1024 -S -D/usr/local/pgsql/data/ -o '-Fe'
