In response to PostreSQL SQL for MySQL SQL  (Chuck Esterbrook <echuck@mindspring.com>)
List pgsql-general
: I think it's still a good idea to provided the "if exists" clause in a
: future PostgreSQL version for these reasons:
:          1. it's convenient
:          2. it doesn't interfere with existing functionality or
performance
:          3. it makes porting from MySQL to PostgreSQL easier

I second this!  It should probably be easy functionality to add (although
I'm no C guru and definetly don't know the ins and out of postgres).  I've
made an equivalent in PHP, but it would be much easier if I could use it
within pgsql dump/import scripts. Plus it requires an additional call to the
database.
