[postgis-devel] ESRI link to docs

[Obe, Regina]

Guess you should respond to the thread on the postgis newsgroup, since
it originally came from there. I accidentally found the postgis link on
ESRI when searching for the pdf.

In the mean time, I found the an old pdf (version 1.3.2) on the server 
and modified the webpage with an appropriate URL.

http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/postgis.pdf

which aliases to

http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.3/postgis.pdf
