I've not been able to make it work. With all variables set to a French
locale (which works fine with all the programs), PostgreSQL, with
ILIKE or upper(), is still case-sensitive. (upper('stéphane') does not
match STEPHANE nor STÉPHANE.)

It does not bother me, since I'm convinced that the problem is far
too complicated to be solved by simple case-folding rules like those of
US-ASCII.
