Hi,

For sure.

So I wonder whether it would be possible to have :

1) an argument that only outputs the CREATE TABLE statements in order to 
allow editing before actual import.

2) the ability to pass a "loose" type (i.e. GEOMETRY)

3) the ability to pass a set of SRS, something like -s 27581,27582,27583...

Point 3 would however require a more complex processing for 
AddGeometryColumn.

Cheers,
