A multi-lang patch for psql 6.5.1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

First, please forget my English is very poor. So that, I made a patch
for support gettext function of GNU C Library to show other languages by
setting locale.

This is the first version that I hack PostgreSQL, and I had made only the
some files which ware put in src/bin, like psql, pg_*, ...etc. If you
patch this patch file, please re-compile your PostgreSQL again. And when
it done, you will get some .pot files, please read gettext via `info' utility
for getting more informations.

PostgreSQL is the best DBMS product that I've used. Why not let it can
support peoples who lives other states and using other language?

First, the attached patch was zero length. Second, I am not sure what
this patch was supposed to do. I am not sure we could distribute a
patch for GNU C library as part of PostgreSQL.

I assume (from gettext usage in GNOME), that the patch will allow localization
of prompts, error messages, etc. in psql, etc. This is a good thing. As
for the licensing, the correct way to do this is a autoconf check for an
installed gettext library (steal it from GNOME). That way, if someone has
gettext installed on their system, they can use it, and otherwise no one is
bothered.

In the long term, a BSD-licensed gettext clone would be ideal, but that's
a completely different issue.
