[fdo-internals] FDO RFC 45 - Add new FDO PostGIS provider

[Mike Toews]

Hi,

Sorry to chime in late on the topic, but why not simply name the new 
provider OSGeo.PostgreSQL, since we are aware that PostGIS is a 
PostgreSQL database extension to enable spatial functionality, and 
theoretically the provider should be able to connect to a PostgreSQL 
database without the PostGIS extension installed.
