Done now. I like vimdiff :-)

You can get the experimental Unicode patch that applies cleanly to pyPgSQL 2.1
at the following long URL:

http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=484468&group_id=16528&atid=316528

There isn't much docs (read: any) yet, but you can look into the Unicode test
suite (test/unicode_tests.py) that the patch will install for usage of the
various Unicode features.
