The above was a quick and dirty hack. I am still working my way through
the adaptation mechanism. In fact after I sent the previous, I had
another thought:

class HstoreAdapter(object):
     """Adapt a Python dict to the hstore syntax."""
     def __init__(self, wrapped, stringify=False):
         self.wrapped = wrapped
    if stringify:
             for k in self.wrapped:
                     self.wrapped[k] = str(self.wrapped[k])

This would preserve present behavior in the default case. I just am not
sure how to pass the stringify flag down through the register_hstore()
process.
