 > Technically, we can use GDAL function, namely
 [http://www.gdal.org/gdal__alg_8h.html GDALPolygonize].

 > However, we have to keep in mind what steps it would require on various
 levels of use and deployment. It is, roughly:
 >  * GDAL requirement, compile-time and run-time
 >  * Translation of WKT Raster WKB to
 [http://www.gdal.org/classGDALDataset.html GDALDataset] with bands (likely
 using GDAL MEM driver)
 >  * Call to GDALPolygonize to generate
 [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRLayer.html OGRLayer]
 >  * Translation of [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRGeometry.html
 OGRGeometry] objects attached to OGRLayer to PostGIS geometry

 Sounds good!
