Subject: Doc patch needed: encodings?

Folks,

I've noticed in recent testing that current versions of both RedHat and SuSE 
default to encodings of "en_US.UTF-8" in the US.   Presumably they do 
something corresponding in other countries.

I think this means that in the basic install-from-source instructions, we need 
to warn people to compile with --locale='C'.   I know it caught me by 
surprise when indexing for LIKE stopped working, and I wasted a lot of time 
hunting for a PG bug when it was my SuSE upgrade at fault.
