Makes sense. Once that 3.0.0 is out we could it use a s a base for ELGIS.

I would not fear this one. PostGIS is not a library in a wider sense, 
and since version 1.5, multiple versions can be installed. They achieved 
this, including the version into the library base name (it's 
/usr/lib64/pgsql/postgis-1.5.so in my system).
