What would you think about giving topology.sql
more visibility chances starting with next release ?

At this time the file is not installed on 'make install',
doesn't get the auto-comment and auto-garden threatment,
doesn't provide any upgrade path.

It defines a bunch of pl/pgsql functions and 3 types:
2 meant to be only used as return types from functions
and 1 being the topological equivalent of a GEOMETRY
(ie: the spatial component of a topological feature).

Everything is defined under the 'topology' schema, so
it's easy to make rid of everything when sick of it :P

So, do you think such a deviant file might be accepted
in the destdir of a 'make install' ? Maybe renamed to
postgis_topology.sql ?

I'm hoping such threatment would expose the code to more
eyes and possible testers and eventually raising some
interest in funding or contributing improvements in it.
