    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.
