[postgis-devel] 1.1.0 closed - Release on 21 - call for tests

[strk at refractions.net]

I've changed all $() constructs with "`..`" ones, which
is probably more portable. Can people test current CVS
for compatibility on the following systems ?
	- Solaris
	- MinGW

The online snapshot will be available in an hour.
You'll need to run ./autogen.sh from a CVS checkout/update.

TIA
