[postgis-devel] shp2pgsql patch

[Markus Schaber]

Hi,

For our workflow, it is of advantage to have the table creation and data
loading separated. The shp2pgsql tool already has a -a option that
implements the loading step, and the attached patch adds a -p(repare)
option that implements the table creation step.

Most of the patch is reindenting of the main loop because of the
surrounding if block, so I also attached a "diff -u -w" that is easier
to read.

I would not like to have this included into the 1.0.0 release, because
that would trigger another RC just for a rather exotic feature, but it
may be helpful for others, and I would like to gather some review before
submitting it for 1.1 :-)

Markus
