Script to automatically generate dbconf/pgsql/xyz.pgsql file from an 
existing table/database.  That would be going from SQL->IC.  (I understand 
that IC already has the ability to generate IC->SQL commands?)

How does one get interchange to generate the SQL "CREATE TABLE..." commands 
from the above db configuration?  (It seems that the demo catalogs build 
their dbs automatically, but I can't seem to make my own db's build 
automatically).  I have to manually CREATE TABLE... *and* put the data into 
a dbconf/pgsql/table.pgsql file.
