[postgis-devel] What is the correct way to remove a sql-signature

[Nicklas Avén]

Thanks Sandro

The problem was just that I had missed the connection between the doc
and comments, so I searched at the wrong place. I had forgotten to
update the doc according to the changed signature.

Since the signature was only there for a few weeks in the trunk I guess
I do not have to put anything in the upgrade scripts, right?
