Component:  postgis                                                        |     Version:  1.4.X        
 Keywords:  st_geometrytype lwutil.c lwgeomTypeName ST_Line ST_LineString  |  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 {{{
 select st_geometrytype('LINESTRING(1 0, 2 0, 3 0)'::geometry);
 }}}

 1.4 branch output:
 {{{
 ST_Line
 }}}

 1.5 and trunk output:
 {{{
 ST_LineString
 }}}

 I suggest to homogenize behaviour
 and change lwutil.c lwgeomTypeName value in 1.4.
