Arrgh.... I like the idea of a lite version, but all my data is decimal
degrees,
so integers wouldn't help much :-) Which projection would be the only one
supported? 

Would a poll to identify the 80/20 of core functionality be worth running
before starting on a lite version?

I can see the situation arising where many PostGIS users support a lite
version, but use is varied enough that everyone wants a different subset of
functionality.
