We need to apply your pacthes to the current source tree(we are not
allowed to add new feature stable source tree). Your pacthes for
encnames.c pg_wchar.h and wchar.c are rejected due to the difference
between 7.2 and current.

Can you give me patches encnames.c pg_wchar.h and wchar.c against
current?

Unicode conversion map staffs ISO10646-GB18030.TXT utf8_to_gb18030.map
UCS_to_GB18030.pl and gb18030_to_utf8.map are looks good for
current. So I will apply them.
