I closed the entry for this commitfest, though there are a few loose
ends:

  * Not sure what to do about strerror & gettext. One idea is to wrap
both in a uselocale() everywhere. For windows, we use the special
setlocale() mode. For NetBSD, I don't know if we can or should do
anything -- maybe just prevent changing lc_messages?

  * pg_strcasecmp() still used many places in the backend. We should
consider replacing with an ASCII variant or one that uses the database
collation.

  * A number of places still rely on isalpha(), etc., for simple
parsing (e.g. ltree).

Regards,
	Jeff Davis
