Just an update on where I think we are with respect to putting about a beta:

i) I've managed to compile GEOS 3.1.0 on Win32, but I haven't tried 
1.4.0SVN with all the new autotools changes yet. This I hope to do later 
this week, but I can't see too much that will break under MingW.

ii) In terms of upgrading from 1.3, I've just remembered that Olivier 
altered the signature of the ST_AsSVG() function, plus I've altered the 
ST_Extent() function signature with GBT#93. So we really need to put 
these changes into the PostGIS soft/hard upgrade scripts. Paul, are you 
able to take a look at this?


ATB,

Mark.
