Umm, why export all these functions. For starters, does this even need
to be in libpq? I wouldn't have thought so the first time round,
especially not three functions. The only thing you need is to take a
locale name and return the charset you can pass to PQsetClientEncoding.

In fact, the only thing you need is PQsetClientEncodingFromLocale(),
anything else is just sugar. Why would the user care about what the OS
calls it? We have a "pg_enc" enum, so lets use it.

Have a nice day,
