Okay that's great.

Well this is actually my fault - I only tested as far back as 8.0 when I 
committed the patch so it's up to me to fix it. The proj caching code is 
actually not the cause of this - it's because of adding in the feature to 
enable bundling of the PROJ.4 grid shift files for Windows users.

Since Win32 PostgreSQL is only really relevant for PostgreSQL > 8.0, I'm happy 
just to #ifdef out that section of code based on the current PostgreSQL 
version. We can save the breakage for the 1.4 series ;) I'll see if I can 
make that happen today.

Do we need someone like William to help with this? Without having access to a 
Mac it's hard for me to work out why getopt() on a Mac is failing. I suppose 
the ultimate solution would be to just create a postgis_ version of the 
relevant functions and use those instead, although that does seem really 
messy :(


ATB,

Mark.
