[postgis-devel] autobuild cleanup - version revisited

[Chris Hodgson]

That doesn't solve the problem of being able to tell the difference 
between installs of 1.4.0 from svn and of the 1.4.0 release version, 
which I think is the major complaint we have about not having the svn or 
-dev suffix. I do like the suffix approach as opposed to re-using the 
micro version... since it's nice to be able to tell the difference 
between micro versions that were taken from svn, too.
