I've read the Simple Feature Specification for SQL spec again
and it does NOT talk about a required Feature id to be present.

Actually postgis currently works fine w/out knowledge of them,
and usually users choose their way of expressing it
(shp2pgsql adds a gid, but nothing prevents you from using other
or no columns for it).

Anyway... I've packaged both C library and .sql files so you can
have a look at them. Build scripts are really rude, but can be
a start. As far as postgis or geotools or geoserver or whoever
has WFS in mind will maintain it, the code (IMHO) can as well be
of general use.

Package attached.
