I think that initdb should default to something, and do the following:

* Have an explicit warnign if no locale specified, and what it is 
defaulting to

* Same for encoding.  NO-ONE knows about the -E option when they first 
use postgres.  Trust me on this.

* Same for -W.  NO-ONE knows this exists.  Then they change their trusts 
to md5 and they can't login to their postgres account anymore.
