Comment (by zezzagio):

 No, the content of regress/loader/mfile.select.sql has to be changed
 accorderly too, in order to all tests to succed (or fail... well, succed
 to fail):

 --- mfile_mapping.txt

 address add
 some_very_long_name short

 --- mfile.select.sql

 select address, some_very_long_name, color from loadedshp order by 1;

 ---

 And this is for the loader (shp2pgsl); I suspect the dumper (pgsql2shp)
 isn't tested at all for the mapping options.

 I'm not entirely sure yet; run_test.pl is perl, after all (I'm familiar
 with perl, but this is really... perl; with some residual bash idiotisms,
 just in case), but I don't seem to see pgsql2shp called with options
 readed from mfile_mapping.txt.

 I will try to check better and see what I can do, if necessary.
