I've also noticed a problem with locales.

Installer uses a static list of locales copied from MSDN. Because of
this, not all locales installed on the current system are listed as
available. Also, if you only supply a locale name to initdb, then the
default encoding for that locale is used as value for lc_* settings
(German_Germany.1252, Slovenian_Slovenia.1250, ...). This causes errors
in sorting order and wrong return values for locale dependant functions
when your database encoding differs from locale encoding.

If there's nobody else working on this yet, I can try doing it myself,
since I already have a piece of code which retrieves all installed
locales and code pages for the current system.
