Log message:
    dbf2pg  -  Insert  xBase-style  .dbf-files  into  a PostgreSQL-table
    There is an option "-s oldname=newname", which changes the old field name of
    the dbf-file to the newname in PostgeSQL. If the length of the new name is 0,
    the field is skiped. If you want to skip the first field of the dbf-file,
    you get the wildest error-messages from the backend.
    dbf2pg load the dbf-file via "COPY tablename FROM STDIN". If you skip the
    first field, it is an \t to much in STDIN.

    A fix could be an counter j=0, which increments only, if a field is imported
    (IF (strlen(fields[h].db_name)> 0) j++. And only if j > 1 (if an other field is
    imported) the \t is printed.

    An other small bug in the README:
    -s start
    Specify  the  first record-number in the xBase-file
    we will insert.
    should be
    -e start
    Specify  the  first record-number in the xBase-file
    we will insert.
