The pg_catalog made since to me at first (especially for my application),
but on reflection I believe you are right. I will remove the references to
the pg_catalog schema and allow the user to add the unsigned data type to
any schema. Good catch on the uninstall script. I should have written this
as well. I will post an update to the wiki later tonight.

I am glad it is useful. I needed it for my current project, and I was
hoping others could use it as well.
