pg_mbcliplen cannot be used in the frontend. Remove them, please.

Is there any way to use a similar functionality in ecpg? I don't like to run
truncate the text too early.

To truncate a mulbyte characters properly, you need to know what
encoding is used for a .pgc file that ecpg about to process. Currently
there is no mechanism in ecpg (and all other frontend) to know what
encoding is used for the .pgc files. This is a tough problem...

I would recommend a command line option overriding an environment variable
(fallback). Isn't there some LC_* indicating the default encoding.
But on the other hand, compiling would most likely take place in 'C'.
