The positioning pole of claim 2 wherein said first guide comprises two support ribs, each having a first side attached to the first surface of the flat bar, a second side attached to the pole, and an elongated dimension disposed parallel to the elongated dimension of the flat bar, each support rib being disposed inward from a respective edge of the flat bar to form a respective groove between the flat bar and the pole. 4. The positioning pole of claim 3 wherein the first attachment coupler comprises a first elongated angle bar and a second elongated angle bar, each angle bar comprising an elongated dimension, a first leg section having a length disposed parallel to the elongated dimension, and a second leg section having a length disposed parallel to the elongated dimension, and an salient angle between its first and second leg sections, said first and second angle bars being disposed such that their elongated dimensions are at least approximately parallel to one another, such that their salient angles face one another, and such that each of the second leg sections may interfit with a respective groove of said first guide. 5. The positioning pole of claim 4 wherein said first attachment coupler further comprises a tie bar which has one end attached to first leg section of the first angle bar and a second end attached to the first leg section of the second angle bar. 6. The positioning pole of claim 4 wherein each of said angle bars of said first attachment coupler has an aperture formed in its first leg section, and wherein said first support leg is pivotally attached to said first attachment coupler at said apertures. 7. The positioning pole of claim 4 wherein said first attachment coupler further comprises a first locking arm which has a lever arm and cylindrical member section, said cylindrical member section having a top surface, a bottom surface, a curved side surface which is disposed between the top and bottoms surfaces and which provides a cam surface, a center axis passing through the top and bottom surfaces, a radius extending from the center axis to a plurality of points on the curved side surface, and an aperture passing through the top and bottom surfaces along an axis which is different from the center axis. 8. The positioning pole of claim 1 further comprising a first locking arm pivotally attached to the second face of the attachment coupler and having a cam surface which is rotated into a position in which it presses against a surface portion of the first guide. 9. The positioning pole of claim 1 wherein the first guide has an outer surface, and wherein the center pole is formed by extrusion such that outer surface of the center pole is continuous with the outer surface of the first guide along at least one location where the first guide is attached to the center pole. 10. A positioning pole comprising: a center pole having an elongated dimension, a center axis oriented parallel to the elongated dimension, an outer surface disposed along the elongated dimension and about the center axis, a first guide disposed on the outer surface and having an elongated dimension oriented parallel to the elongated dimension of the pole, and a second guide disposed on the outer surface and having an elongated dimension oriented parallel to the elongated dimension of the pole, the first and second guides being located at different positions on the outer surface relative to the center axis, the first guide comprising a first dovetail groove formed in the center pole and the second guide comprising a second dovetail groove formed in the center pole; a first attachment coupler having an elongated dimension, a first face, and a
