The auto-generated version was produced by a Perl script
written by Chris.  It uses some standard parser module
(RecDescent?) to parse the MySQL DDL and then emits 
PostgreSQL.  It's not perfect yet, but it should be
fixable.

Or do you mean tools for editing schemas?  I'm afraid I
don't really know about this -- I'm a hand-edited SQL
in emacs guy ;-).
