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".

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.
