Release Candidate 3

[Steve Lime]

I think given the testing Sean and Umberto have done the patch for bug 1587 should be applied before RC3. Sean, can you commit the patched mappostgis.c to 4.8 and 4.9?

I will prepare and tag the source for a RC3 when you're ready. Is bug 
1613 the last one that's left to address before we do it?

It's up to you if you'd like to tackle any of that before RC3. I'm not going to do anything more to the GEOS support unless someone finds a true bug.
