All this sounds nice, but I am afraid the job is not for me. Actually I
am very new to Postgres and SQL world. I started to learn SQL 3 months ago;
I started to play with Postgres 2 months ago. I started to hack Potsgres
sources (about locale) a little more than a month ago.

It would be nice to test it, providing that it wouldn't break existing
code. Our site is running hundreds CGIs that rely on current locale support
in Postgres...

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
