What kind of error message does "createdb -E LATIN1" give on a non
MULTIBYTE backend?

Maybe there needs to be a note somewhere informing people from Europe
that they too need MULTIBYTE as an option at compile time. i.e. In a
bright yellow box in the HTML docs...

And in the Reference manual and man pages the -E option for createdb
needs a note to specify that it applies to MULTIBYTE backends only.
