New issue 97 by mark.cav... at siriusit.co.uk: Rename LWCURVE to LWCIRCSTRING
http://code.google.com/p/postgis/issues/detail?id=97

See explanation here:

The confusion stems from the fact that internally what we call a curve is
actually a circularstring; hence when reading code it gets very confusing
since in the SQL-MM spec, a curve is an abstract supertype and not a real  
type.
