They didn't sound very loud to me.
Why not have it so Unix folks can control it?
Also, how do we get our native apps to know the location of the locale
directory? The only other solution I can think of is a libpq function
call to set it, but of course that can't be changed once the binary is
created. Our apps could use the function call (based on the bin
location), and other apps would have to decide how they would make this
functionality visible, but it wouldn't be consistent.
