[postgis-devel] Shapefile to PostGIS Importer

[Mark Leslie]

It's been a while since I started this thread, but I've finally managed 
to get it into my schedule.  I've pushed through the upgrades mentioned 
(no budget yet for a port to wxWindows I'm afraid).  Attached is a 
screen-cap.

Work has been done against the 1.5 branch, and checked into a spike: 
http://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/spike/mleslie/current
I've also put up a zip for windows:
