 I'd like to see PostGIS provide a SQL function that output's the
 software's UNKNOWN_SRID.  This would help at the present time where it
 looks like there still is discussion about 0 vs -1.

 Also, nothing is stopping a user from changing UNKNOWN_SRID to something
 other than 0 or -1, say -9999.  So a function ST_UnknownSRID would allow
 users of that PostGIS instance to know what that instance's unknown SRID
 is.

 Heck, I'll write the patch and attach it if everyone is fine with it.
