... and even if we wanted to fiddle with it, that just moves the problem
over to finding an LC_CTYPE value that matches the database encoding
:-(.
Yup, it's a mess. We'd have done this long ago if it were easy.
Could we get away with just unconditionally calling
bind_textdomain_codeset with *our* canonical spelling of the encoding
name? If it works, great, and if it doesn't, you get English.
