Also, rename set_text_domain() to pg_bindtextdomain(), because that is what
it does.

(Possibly release notes material, lest users be confused.)

The --quiet option is now obsolete and without effect in createdb,

removal in 8.4.

Progress messages when acting on all databases now go to stdout instead
of stderr, since they are not in fact errors.

unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality.  However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area.  This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.

environment variable processing to libpq.

The patch also adds code to our client apps so we set the environment
variable directly based on our binary location, unless it is already
set. This will allow our applications to emit proper locale messages
that are generated in libpq.

Add locale to pg_ctl.c.

Adjust get_*_path functions to be limited to MAXPGPATH.

find_my_exec/find_other_exec().  Remove passing of progname to these
functions as they can find that out from argv[0], which they already
have.

Make get_progname return const char *, and update all progname variables
to be const char *.

This ensures stdout is kept in sync with messages on stderr.
