Comment(by darkblueb):

 Now I have express permission from the NaturalEarth team for a pre3.0
 Natural Earth. However, there are changes the NE team would like to see,
 that we have no time for.. and my first pass at integrating left at least
 one more encoding problem.. The database is declared as LATIN1 and we
 should move it completely to UTF-8.  Sounds easy, but who knows where a
 small problem may occur? Only thorough testing would show, and the clock
 is running out.

 Note: why do we have {{{load_postgis.sh}}} and {{{load_gisdata.sh}}} as
 two scripts? I have no idea..

 At any rate, with everything else this close to completion, it does not
 look good for making this change. Attribute it to summer schedules of the
 NE team I suppose. Very likely will have to push to 7.5.
