Shortly after starting effective use of the postgis topology, a need
arised for copying topological datasets, to play w/out loosing hours
of computations to build them...

After performing my first such copy "manually" (involving schema rename,
dumping, re-rename, restoring, tweaking all links -- and based on a specific
use of the model), I've started writing down some ideas about possible
generic approaches at performing such copies.

This is a work in progress, aimed at defining a set of functions to help
with such processes.

I'm letting you know in case you had to deal with such situation already
and want to share your approaches and "wishes" about it.
