The hole in that argument is the assumption that there *is* a freely available library that can be used (where freely == BSD license). We wouldn't be having this discussion if we knew of one.
I see this discussion as another reason to use ICU, I mean complete rewrite of locale handling to use ICU on all platforms. I know it's big project but it's doable for 8.2 and it would virtually solve all locale problems and could be base for new unicode/locale features. I am not sure if this is the way postgres wants to go tho (having dependency on such a big and uncommon library).
