Well, I finally noticed that you did all that already;-) So I won't
have anything to do. Good;-)
I should think and check before writing...
Also you improved/simplified the code for the better.
I've seen the gettext stuff and buffer data. I was wondering how the
localisation magic could work, it is quite simpler this way. Also you
changed the palloc/pfree stuff to pg_malloc/free. I'll have to check pg
memory management...
Thanks again, have a nice day,
