I changed the code to be able to configure the client encoding
between squeak and postgres (side effects are in execute: and 
in the field converters). This has to be configured externally
(external to PGConnection). But I don't like the approach like
it is. In my working copy I defaulted the client encoding to
utf-8 (in PGConnection>>startUp. The change is attached) to make 
my life easier. Having  some negotation between the driver and the
database, e.g. to set the client encoding would be useful.
