Add a new libpq connection option client_encoding (which includes the existing PGCLIENTENCODING environment variable), which besides an encoding name accepts a special value "auto" that tries to determine the encoding from the locale in the client's environment, using the mechanisms that have been in use in initdb. psql sets this new connection option to "auto" when running from a terminal and not overridden by setting PGCLIENTENCODING. original code by Heikki Linnakangas, with subsequent contributions by Jaime Casanova, Peter Eisentraut, Stephen Frost, Ibrar Ahmed
