Hey Paul,

I'm almost done with the basic C-based raster2pgsql.  The only things 
missing are constraint addition and overview support.

Once the loader is merged, I'd say remove any dependency on Python and 
related items (numpy, GDAL built with python support).  Jorge has 
expressed that he hopes to have the write component of GDAL's PostGIS 
Raster driver done by GDAL's 1.9 release.
