<hint>

Unlike postgresql_autodoc, which cannot be "embedded" with Pgadmin,
since it is implemented in Perl, which has an embedding-hostile
License as someone once told me, this tiny script could easily be
embedded with Pgadmin, since Python's license is deliberately
embedding-friendly.

And with dot2tex, it would be even possible to generate a complete,
printable, well-typographed PDF documentation of any PostgreSQL database
from within Pgadmin, through LaTeX.
