>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.
