windows encodings

Hi,
in Czech database conference we  talk about windows PostgreSQL port andwindows  encodings  now. The current  code
expect use win1250  as  FEencoding only. That's right for non-windows systems, but native windowsknows  work with  this
encoding. The encodings  separation (FE|BE)  isdefined in the include/mb/pg_wchar.h file and  I think we can change ita
little by  "#ifdef WIN32"  and define  windows encodings  as backendencodings for windows port.
 
Pavel Stehule <stehule@kix.fsv.cvut.cz> already test win1250 as backendencoding for windows port and it works. There is
morewindows encodingslike Big5 and Shift-JIS which are defined as FE only.
 
I haven't windows  so I can't help  with this work, but  I think peoplewho  work on  windows  port should  test and
fix it, because  supportwindows encodigs in  native windows port is  well-founded idea. I think:-)
