[postgis-devel] WKTRaster: canonical i/o (and WKB)

[strk]

Second RFC for rasters: WKB.
http://svn.refractions.net/postgis/spike/wktraster/doc/RFC2-WellKnownBinaryFormat

The WellKnownBinary format is modeled after the serialied format,
except from adding an endian field at the start and removing
padding.

For matching endiannes, dropping the padding means we'll be forced
to scan all the band values.  When endiannes mismatches we'll be forced
to scan all band values with isOffline flag clear and pixtype of
size > 8bit.

As usual, comments are welcome.
