This information is still in the documentation, it has moved to a
different location. It's in the docmentation for the psql tool now.
(It's under Client Application)

1252 is not valid for all installations. Only for Latin-1 installations.
That said, it should be possible to determine this from the system
locale on installation time and put that in the shortcut. Please
register a feature request on the pgFoundry page for this so it's not
forgotten. It won't be there in time for 8.0, but it shouldn't be too
much work to add it in a followon release.
