#3268: pgsql2shp: wrong ldid in dbf

Comment (by pramsey):

 It looks like the shape driver just writes that ldid in by default, and
 then the libpq library just hauls the data down in the server encoding.
 The problem is a little aggravated by GDAL now considering LDID/87 to mean
 WIN1252. A partial workaround could be to set your PGCLIENTENCODING
 environment variable to WIN1252, so your data at least match your LDID.
 Probably we should be setting the LDID to "UTF-8" so that at least GDAL
 will interpret the data right (and hence hopefully QGIS too)
