Norm,

Currently it looks like I'm capturing 12 tables as operated on by the script:

   http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/geotiff/trunk/libgeotiff/csv/pg_to_csv.py

It would be easy to extend it to capturing them all though I don't really use
a number of them in libgeotiff and related tools.  The current csv files are
available in http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/geotiff/trunk/libgeotiff/csv.  I'll
let Paul notify this list when he has updated things, and to clarify what
version of the database he is getting.

We work from the Postgres dump of the EPSG dataset normally.

Best regards,
