It's just an old Berkeley project name without any particular meaning.

More to the point: the tioga code is all dead and unlikely to be
resurrected, as is everything to do with recipes in the backend.
You don't need to worry about translating anything that comes out
of that code.

Peter: it'd be a good idea to suppress gathering NLS messages out of
src/backend/commands/_deadcode/
src/backend/executor/_deadcode/
src/backend/optimizer/path/_deadcode/
src/backend/tioga/
as well as anything inside #ifdef NOT_USED. Dunno how difficult that
is with the gettext tools, though.
