I was supposed to do that but I got distracted.  I send out a longish 
implementation and transition plan some time ago, if you're interested.  
Setting the locale per database is quite doable actually, you just need 
a plan to prevent corruption of the shared system catalogs and you need 
to deal with modifications of the template database(s).  There was some 
discussion about that as well.  See the thread "Translations in the 
distributions" around 2004-01-09.  I can help out if you want to do 
what was discussed there.
