Geographic objects support for PostgreSQL -- common files

 PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational
 database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server,
 allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information
 systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS
 follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL".

 This package contains the PostGIS userland binaries, common files and
 documentation.
