un-CLUSTER?

Is there a way to turn off the CLUSTER setting for a table?

I did a "CLUSTER index ON table" for a number of tables. Now I want to
do a raw CLUSTER command across the whole database, but I'd really like
to turn off the CLUSTER setting for one of the tables (because it takes
too long). I don't see anything that will allow me to do that (other
than dropping and recreating the table).

I think you'd just have to reach in and turn off the indisclustered
(sp?) flag in the appropriate row of pg_index.
