I'm working on some code for pgInstaller that will check the locale and encoding selected by the user are a valid combination.
The changes recently added to initdb (which highlighted the UTF-8 issue on Windows that Tom posted about) appear to only allow the default encoding for the locale to be selected. For example, for me that would be: "English_United Kingdom.1252" However, setlocale() will also accept other valid combinations on Windows, which initdb will not, for example: "English_United Kingdom.28591" (Latin1) Is there any reason not to accept other combinations that setlocale() is happy with?
