pga_* tables aren't pgAdmin's - someone else complained to me about them,
but all pgAdmin stuff is pgadmin_*. That aside, you realise there is an
option on the Advanced menu in pgAdmin to remove them all?

There was a function in pgAdmin I that did something like this - nobody
really used it though except my team at work to my knowledge. Anyway, I'll
add it to the To-Do list as that seems like a good idea in the different
format that you describe.
