It's in the scripts directory of the source code, not the installed
script directory.

It is also not exactly right --- everyone who has used it has had to tweak it
a little to make it something that can actually be used as input to the 
mysql or pgsql command line programs.

There were also significant bugs in 1.9.8 related to mysql and pgsql support.
These were fixed a month or so after 1.9.8 was released.  To get those 
fixes you'll need to go with CVS, not a release.
