It won't break anything, although it will make applying patches against 
older PostGIS sources a bit harder. I can't say that I can see us 
getting many large patches against older versions though ;)

I can't say that I'm too excited about that one - I like just being able 
to have an active PostGIS database with a single psql command. OTOH it 
should be possible to generate a single.sql file from multiple sources 
as part of the build process if that helps?
