[Live-demo] Postgis 2.0 - legacy.sql

[Sergio Baños Calvo]

Hi Angelos.

 From Kosmo part, it would be ok to change to postgis 2.0 if legacy.sql 
is loaded into at least the natural_earth2 database, that form part of 
the quickstart guide. But i think that if you load it into the postgis 
template database before creating the others spatial databases it could 
be better.

I think that the ticket #1059 from the tracker [1] could be also solved 
loading the legacy.sql, as the offending sql function that it's not 
found is restored with the legacy.sql.

Regards,
