I have US states shape files that are mostly identical, except for those silly 
legacy columns that have the state code prefix. Is there a way I can import 
these shapefiles via `shp2pgsql` specifying to *not* load a particular column? 
As is, the loader croaks because the '-c' switch creates the table on the first 
state load creating a column starting with that state's code, and then the 
second state can't find that column.

An additional question -- the '-S' switch promises to "Generate simple 
geometries instead of MULTI geometries." Why would I want to do that? Please 
educate me.
