Is this mean, that PostgresSQL will not have recode() futher ?
Some my programs use following form of the recode:
recode('...', 'Windows-1251', 'KOI8-R')
to convert posted users' files into my base charset KOI8-R, if the files' content have another charset
and save them into DB...

How can I install recode() function for 7.4 release ?
