At the bottom of
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/install-win32.html
there is some info about having to set the correct console code page
for psql. Does this apply to the MinGW and/or Cygwin builds, or is it
only relevant for Visual C++ and Borland C++ builds? If the former,
it's in the wrong place. I am not sure what the right place is though.

It applies to all of them. I think it should just be in the psql manual
page, no?

Barring objections, I'll move it there.
