Yeah, in fact the new build system is already in place in SVN trunk if 
you wish to test during an idle moment. PGXS uses the in-built 
PostgreSQL Makefile.shlib and so any changes you make there will 
automatically be picked up by PostGIS.

Incidentally I was chatting to Dave (Page) from the PostgreSQL project 
over the weekend, and he suggested that if your changes are minimal to 
build on dragonfly then there would be a good chance of getting a patch 
accepted in 8.4.


ATB,

Mark.
