Just wanted to follow up with you here in case you weren't carefully
following the mailing list. Oliver has provided a patch to make this
happen and it is now in the cvs repository.

It does require some changes to the PostgresArray class you sent. Notably
the datatype name needs to match up exactly with the pg data type (aliases
aren't allowed). So for example the create(long[] array) method currently
creates does this at the end:

return new PostgresArray(sb.toString(), Types.BIT, "bigint");

this now needs to use "int8" as the type name. The Types.BIT is also
bogus, but that currently isn't a problem.
