strk,

DropGeometryColumn() should actually do an

ALTER TABLE <table> DROP COLUMN <column>;

The reason it doesnt is because postgresql 7.0 or 7.1 did NOT allow you 
to do this.  Since at least 7.2, we've been able to - we just havent 
updated the function.

Could you change it so it does the DROP column instead of the sillyness 
it does now?
