Including postgis_config.h would require installing that file as well,
and that's mostly system-dependent defines, useful more for building than
for using as a library. If every library installed its own config.h there
would be a huge duplication of HAVE_VASPRINTF, HAVE_INTTYPES_H and the like
headers with the consequent CPP warnings or errors about overridden symbols.

Generating it serves the purpose of having the version controlled from a 
single location (configure.ac). What's a PITA about generating it ?
