If you can't afford the time to fix your scripts, you could use a DOMAIN
as a form of type alias:

regression=# create domain datetime timestamp with time zone;
CREATE DOMAIN
regression=# create table fooey (f1 datetime);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# select datetime('now');
           datetime

There might be some cases where this doesn't help, but I think it will
work for most of the common uses.
