Not sure if this is the same thing, but I wrote a little utility called 
meta-slonik a while back that grabs sequences, constrained tables, and 
unconstrained tables and handles them all appropriately in a single 
slonik script designed for use with a single master and slave.

I haven't tested or updated this since slony1-1.0.2, though.

Is this worth adding to altperl? If so, I can certainly document it 
better. Comments welcome, of course. Clearly, it could be expanded to 
handle more complicated slony setups.
