A first version of a patch is attached:
- allows [ IF EXISTS ] for both, conditional dropping of columns and

- adds two tiny additions to the alter_table regression suite
- adds minimal documentation (my wording might be completely off)

As this is my first patch to PG I am happy with most sort of feedback.
