A request for enhancement: I think it would be very nice if the SchemaExport tool had an option not to generate the initial "alter" and "drop" statements. This way we could initialize a fresh new database by simply feeding it the generated script. (Currently, I am getting SQL errors because the tables do not exist yet, so I have to post-process the generated script somehow.)

In fact, I was confused and disappointed by the existing parameter "drop", which apparently causes the *create* section to be optionally skipped. It would be much more straightforward if there were two parameters create="yes|no" and drop="yes|no" that cause the corresponding section to be skipped or generated.
