It's provided by a contrib module so not available by default.  In
PostgreSQL 9.1 you can just run the following in whichever database
you wish it to be made available in:

CREATE EXTENSION citext;

If you're on 9.0 or below, you will need to run a script, the location
of which varies depending on your platform.  See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/contrib.html
