The initcap function is not completely consistent with Oracle's initcap
function:

SELECT initcap('alex hyde-whyte');

In Oracle 9.2i this will return 'Alex Hyde-White', in PostgreSQL 7.3.3
it returns 'Alex Hyde-white'.

It looks like a relatively simple change to oracle_compat.c in
backend/utils/adt, but is this a bugfix that can be made during the
pre-beta period for 7.4 or does it need to wait?
