I'd love to.  However that won't work for my this Tuesday deliverable.
At any rate, what (at a high level) would be involved in patching
shp2pgsql.c to do this?  I could see this being extended via a "-t" flag
which means "just insert the .dbf table".

In the short-term, if anyone has any ideas, that would be much
appreciated.
