ok, attached a version that modifies src/interfaces/libpq/Makefile to
push chklocale.o and eliminate the dependency on libpgport, this
change also fixes the compile problem on windows

still, i'm not sure this patch is doing anything useful... i
initialized a cluster with utf8 and my system is using utf8 but when
executing my test script with client_encoding=auto it gets SQL_ASCII

postgres(at)casanova1:~/pg_releases/pgtests$ locale
LANG=es_EC.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_EC.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
postgres(at)casanova1:~/pg_releases/pgtests$ ./test-libpq
'dbname=postgres port=54329 client_encoding=auto'
client_encoding: SQL_ASCII

and when executing the same script compiled in windows i get an error,
it doesn't recognize the client_encoding option...

$ ./test-libpq.exe "dbname=postgres user=postgres host=192.168.204.101
port=54329 client_encoding=latin1"
Connection to database failed: invalid connection option "client_encoding"
