We have merged README.mb into the official SGML docs, so the file is
gone. Not sure what setup we have for SGML docs in different languages.
Sorry.

Thank you!
Your README.mb has been translate into Chinese (Big5 encoding) in the
attachement.
Would someone like to review it?
After translating it, I still have one question: (Sorry, I have not read the
source code.)
What is the difference among "libpq -- PQsetClientEncoding()",
"SQL command -- SET NAMES", and
"SQL command -- SET CLIENT_ENCODING"?
For example: If we use PHP (>4.0.2), which way is correct or mostly correct?
1. pg_setclientencoding($cid, "BIG5")
2. pg_exec("SET NAMES 'BIG5'")
3. pg_exec("SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'BIG5'")
