Thanks a lot! Now I get a connect to the database, but XMLExport is
choking with an error:

[mirko@romulan jars]$ java -cp ./retepTools.jar \
uk.org.retep.xml.test.XMLExport -Dorg.postgresql.Driver \
-J"jdbc:postgresql:mirko?user=mirko&password=XXXXX" -S
Now using JDBC Driver: org.postgresql.Driver
Opened jdbc:postgresql:mirko?user=mirko&password=XXXXX
Generating XML Schema of database
java.lang.NullPointerException

If you need more information I am happy to send a more complete transcript
with -verbose enabled.

Maybe this syntax should be documented anywhere? I knew about 1: but have
not seen 2: or 3: :-).
