Yeah, I'm in 2 minds about it at the moment although that's mainly 
because the 1.3 branch build system is a complete pain ;)  If you want 
to have a go at this yourself then it looks like you need to tweak 
http://svn.refractions.net/postgis/branches/1.3/Makefile.config.in to 
filter out the devel suffix (I think I used sed in trunk to do this?), 
plus backport the 8.4 GiST fix from here:

ATB,

Mark.
