>Description:
	During the installation of the postgresql74 meta package, I noticed
	that several files were not installed properly by the subpackages
	during the package registration.  Failed files were locales.

	I wondered were did they go... and today, did a 'ls /' and found
	my root directory polluted with lots of locale directories (i.e.,
	/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES) containing the catalog files for all the
	postgresql74* packages.

	After a quick look at the packages, I found that the 'localedir'
	variable in the src/Makefile.global file, after a 'make configure',
	is completely empty.

	This also happens with postgresql 7.3, AFAICT.  (the localedir
	variable ends up empty too).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install postgresql74.  Note how locale files are not registered
	properly, and are directly installed into /.
>Fix:
	Unknown... sorry, haven't got the time to debug this right now.
