Modified files:
doc/src/sgml : install-win32.sgml
src/bin/psql : startup.c

Log message:

a) Write documentation how the win32 console needs to be set up so that
psql can handle 8-bit characters.
Where should it be added? The Section "Installation on Windows" in the
Administrator's Guide seems natural to me.

b) Add code to psql that prints a warning on startup of psql when the
console codepage differs from the windows codepage, something like

Warning: Console codepage (850) differs from windows codepage (1252)
8-bit characters will not work correctly. See PostgreSQL
documentation "Installation on Windows" for details.

Attached are two patches:

- installdoc.patch contains an additional paragraph on the win32 console
codepage for the chapter "Installation on Windows"
Due to a lack of SGML-tools, I have only edited the text and not tested
the SGML code - please check it before merging into the CVS branch.

- psqlcodepage.patch adds the warning about a problematic codepage to psql.
