There's currently a config setting that is supposed to inhibit its use 
on Windows. I am quite confused.

What is more, when I set the locale of my machine to Turkish and run the 
installer project's 8.1_RC1 which I happen to have installed there, and 
set lc_messages to tr_TR.UTF-8, I don't see lines like Nicolai reported:
 LOG:  "$s" veritaban?n transaction ID warp limiti $u

I see this:  LOG:  "2147484146" veritabanin transaction ID warp limiti postgres

So I'm inclined to think there might be something odd about his setup and maybe we aren't quite so broken after all.

cheers
