I wouldn't call it "inconvenience" -- you are no paid providers of
some service who have to care for their customers "convenience" :-)
Many thanks for writing any documentation at all! :) However, maybe it
is possible to generally include links to the relevant (?) README
files in the HTML documentation or the main README/INSTALL files?

You are right, it seems to be that the Windows client is *not* mb
enabled; I get only the following debug messages:

   --------------------------------------------------
   debug info:
           [...]
           query echo   = f
   InitPostgres
           reset_client_encoding()..
           reset_client_encoding() done.
   --------------------------------------------------

When starting the mb-enabled Unix client, I get among others the
messages you described.

My assumption that psql without mb is not able to set CLIENT_ENCODING
was probably wrong -- I forgot that I compiled backend and psql at the
same time, so the error message I got was probably a *backend* message
...

The trouble is not as big, I was just playing around, at least for me
there is no urgent need for a Windows psql. But wouldn't it be a good
idea to generally include mb support? Or is there any reason not to
include mb support in the standard configure process?

Anyway, many thanks for your help and for providing multibyte support! 
Regards,
Ulf
