I intentionally left supportsGetGeneratedKeys false because we don't
support returning generated keys by column indexes.  Without knowing how
used that method is, I'm not sure if this is more or less helpful.  I'm
open to input if people think we should change it to true.

This was an oversight on my part.  I added support for the Statement
methods, but somehow not for PreparedStatement methods.  Shouldn't be too
tough to add, let me take a look and get back to you in a day or two.
