As there seems to be a consensus forming for fixing the JDBC driver,
I've taken the liberty do so at the risk of being shot down. The patch
is fairly straightforward, just changing UNICODE to UTF8 in a number of
files including the translation files. I've tested this against 9.1devel
(HEAD) and 8.4.7. For each database version I build and the tests
running JDKs 1.4.2_19, 1.5.0_22 and 1.6.0_2. All on 32-bit.
