I am going to leave most of this for Dave and Chris to address, but the 
above is something I would like to comment on.  Do you think it is wise 
to push through column names which pgsql generally considers illegal? I 
recognize that they can be forced with generous use of quotes, but yuck. 
  A little character replacement in the loader would go a long way here, 
me thinks...
