Ah, hi
I guess I should have posted one mail of 'gotchas' I found to
the list, there is a separate group confering on this but I
think it's list material.
Anyway, I'm wondering the same thing but I found it easier to
comply than switch. I first set up my postgres table without
the extra underscores but then found .. oh darn, Pierre has
done a lot of working coding SQL statements in his stack using
those field names so if you change them, you have to change
all his code .. and THEN when he releases a new version (3
already) you have to do it again. Darn!
So it is easier to stick with his conventions.

Another on the list of gotchas:
His abookcgi.mc script assumes psql is in /bin at least in my
environment. What I had to do was put the full path name to
psql.
In my case the change was to
put "/usr/local/pgsql-7.1.3/bin/psql -h sdwebdev.castandcrew.com abook -U sadhu" into PgPath
