That would be great. I really need it here too. I even sent an e-mail
message to Emanuele Pucciarelli (who's listed as the previous maintainer)
saying I'd be willing to take it over. Of course, I'd rather not do
that, since it's a pretty large package, and would take quite a bit

PostgreSQL 6.1 should be coming out in a few days. It looks good. :-)
