Yes it is, but the message in the source code has not been changed,
which is very misleading,
as you can see here:
g:\home\cb>psql -U postgres template1

......
Warning: Console codepage (850) differs from windows codepage (1252)
8-bit characters will not work correctly. See PostgreSQL
documentation "Installation on Windows" for details.
