I have access to a system with locale of UTF-8. cvstip would no longer
initdb on this system, as a result of recent renaming of UTF-8 to UTF8.

i.e.
[userid@systemname ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

OS is Fedore Core 3.

Attached patch adds UTF-8 as a synonym for UTF8, so initdb works again
without needing to specify an encoding, just like it used to.

Whatever we call UTF*8, there will always be somebody who says
different.

Best regards, Simon Riggs
