Nicklas this all sounds good.  I'm hoping to try this out on a couple of  
use cases
once I have the other testing we are doing done for our frozen release.

One small thing and people can correct me if they feel this is unnecessary.

Can you split this out.  By that I mean.

1) The st_max_distance function I consider a bug fix since we have a  
non-working stub
function for it already, not a new function so given our new unspoken  
policy it is
probably fine to push this to 1.3.7, 1.4.1
2) st_distance enhancements since it doesn't affect exposed api can also be
considered 1.3.7 , 1.4.1 material

3) but exposing the other new functions even though it sounds like they  
support max
distance, are new functions and those would require we wait till 1.5 or  
gasp 2.0.

Is there anyway you can separate these out even if you just don't include  
the new
functions in postgis.inc.sql.c.

Mark, Paul or Kevin can correct me if I am wrong on this request.

Thanks,
Regina
