[postgis-devel] Loader build under postgresql 8.1.3 fails. Patch for configure.in to solve the issue.

[Stephen Frost]

Greetings,

  The loader build is fine without the additional --libs.  Indeed,
  adding the extra libs can cause serious problems if, for example, the
  .so's the server is compiled with is different from the .so's the
  PostGIS module is compiled with.  This results in two different
  versions of the same library being linked into the running PostgreSQL
  process with conflicting symbols.  This can cause PostgreSQL to crash.

  For the actual loader, they don't need the extra .so's to even be
  available to compile normally, just libpq (shp2pgsql doesn't even need
  that, actually!).

  Please revert the configure.in patch.

  	Thanks!
