I believe this version now lives at
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/mysql2psql/projdisplay.php, although
there are other versions. I agree it should be removed.

actually I think part of the point of this was to give a command line
version of the reindex command, like we have for vaccum. If that still

converted to C and moved to /src/bin.

istr that xml2 had some expanded capabilties at the expense of
additional security issues, but we should wait for the author to jump
in.
