Really, all you need to do is generate a new rails app with postgres
specified as the database and configure it to use the existing DB
(presumably the copy you've modified to be more AR-compliant).

That "schema_to_scaffold" gem *might* be useful -- it looks pretty
old so hard to tell without trying it -- but if you have "a few" tables
then creating AR Models from them manually won't be a lot of work.

Do make use of `git` to save your work as you go -- you'll probably
wind up throwing away some experiments :-)
