i extracted the functions to connect that Heikki put on psql in his
patch for determining client_encoding from client locale and put it in
libpq so i follow the PQconnectdbParams(* params[]) approach.

i put the new function at the end of the exports.txt file, there's a
reason to renumber the exports to put it at the beginning with the
other PQconnectdb function?

this patch still lacks documentation, i will add it in the next days
but want to know if you have any comments about this...
