Yeah. shp2pgsql is different because it doesn't actually connect to a  
PostgreSQL
server - it just produces a text file, and so it has to handle the encoding  
itself by
allowing the user to specify it on the command line.

For pgsql2shp, the client_encoding is a property of the connection used to  
extract
the geometries, and so PQescapeStringConn() automatically "just knows" the  
correct
encoding to use when passing strings into the SQL engine.


HTH,

Mark.
