I spent many hours on this patch and am attaching an updated version.
I have restructured the code and added many comments, but this is the
main one:

* Ideally, the server encoding and locale settings would
* always match. Unfortunately, WIN32 does not support UTF-8
* values for setlocale(), even though PostgreSQL runs fine with
* a UTF-8 encoding on Windows:
*
* http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d.aspx
*
* Therefore, we must set LC_CTYPE to match LC_NUMERIC and
* LC_MONETARY, call localeconv(), and use mbstowcs() to
* convert the locale-aware string, e.g. Euro symbol, which
* is not in UTF-8 to the server encoding.

I need someone with WIN32 experience to review and test this patch.
