Comment (by robe):

 I guess I will state my preferred here for the record.  I would much
 prefer keep the sql file names the same and instead have a versioned
 script folder

 So we would have
 contrib\
 postgis-1.5\postgis.sql
 postgis-1.5\spatial_ref_sys.sql
 postgis-1.5\postgis_...upgrade from here to there.sql (like hmm 3 of these
 things)
 postgis-1.5\postgis_comments.sql
 postgis-1.5\extras\allthose extra things we package like topology.sql
 ....and whatever nonsense we dream of in the future.
 postgis-1.5\postgis_uninstall.sql

 The reason being look already how many sql files I have itemized.  Imagine
 having to deal with different versioned named things of those all in one
 directory.  And oops I want to uninstall ...

 Yah we can say but why do we need to version spatial_ref_sys.sql.  Hmm
 because people may install stuff out of order.  Lets say for whatever
 reason you need to install a PostGIS 1.3 -- your stupid PostGIS 1.3 wipes
 out the newer PostGIS 1.5 you had already installed.  Thus I think
 spatial_ref_sys.sql should be versioned like everything else.

 To Kevin -- NO we will not be MICRO versioning the script files for the
 simple reason that when I install a PostGIS 1.4.1 I expect it to wipe out
 my PostGIS 1.4 scripts without having to uninstall my prior scripts.

 I have spoken.
