OK, that's another problem. AFAIK, that's a known problem because
Windows doesn't have LC_MESSAGES. The above comment (pg_locale.c)
suggests that there is no verification for the locale that is been set.
A possible solution is to use IsValidLocaleName() [1] or
LocaleNameToLCID() [2] but it seems that they're only available for
Vista. :( Maybe we could emulate one of these functions with a mapping
table [3]. [searching ...] It seems there are problems with LCIDs; they
don't describe the locales acurately. pgwin hackers?
Could you try to use one of the locale names described in [4]?
