When do you think this'll get started? Dave is going to be adding some
support functions around wkb() and using binary cursors which should
make the data transfer faster, rather than parsing well-known text. Also
hopefully an 'extent()' function.

Jeff is writing a loader/dumper (using shapelib, tee hee) so we're kind
of using OGR already. Once OGR supports PostGIS, a simple wrapper to OGR
will make more sense.
