Description

Someone posted this frustration on our blog. I thought we had this already, but I couldn't find the feature either.

-S Generate simple geometries instead of MULTI geometries.

can not load polygons (not multipolygons) using "postgis shapefile and dbf loader".

It's a feature, not a bug

If it helps at all, with the current code in trunk it's now approximately a 5 min fix if you feel up to the challenge. Otherwise I can take a look next week.
