Robe was telling me the story about table constraints using ndims.
I belive she mentioned something about providing another .sql script
to add things like ndims and yet another to drop them.
Maybe postgis_restore.pl should take care of sourcing the additional
legacy file to allow for proper restore, run updates of the tables
to switch to typmod and finally run the file dropping the now-useless
legacy functions.

Of course this will make the script even more complex than it is..
