I think you're right about nobody using it, but we might have
the other problem: people willing to use it in future versions
not able to cope with old and new shp2pgsql revisions.

I was thinking about something like a SHP2PGSQL_RET1ONSUCCESS
The name is ugly, but the point is makeing applications
able to define it to get a consistent behaviour between
shp2pgql revisions:
	- old revision will not use the variable
	- new revision will use it sticking to old return codes
