I've found webmin to be pretty good swat type tool...it's lacking some
things to be a full postgres administration system, but I think they
have the right idea...

Personally, I like the idea of plphp better. I haven't used either,
though. plgsql will always have value in converting oracle deployments,
so it is truly hard to standardize on a favorite here.
I think the latest versions of pgAdmin are just awesome. I never used
to like it very much, but it really is great software. I think any
effort expended on beefing that project up is not wasted.
