If have tested this against the libc locale C.utf8 that was available on 
the OS, and the behavior is consistent.

I wonder if we should version the builtin locales too.  We might make a 
mistake and want to change something sometime?

Tiny comments:

* src/bin/scripts/t/020_createdb.pl

The two added tests should have different names that tells them apart
(like the new initdb tests).

* src/include/catalog/pg_collation.dat

Maybe use 'and' instead of '&' in the description.

Seems ok.

I'll look into those later.
