Comment(by robe):

 I was thinking we might be able to take out the srid and ndims from legacy
 compatibility but realize we can't take out srid since its used in old
 apps and might as well leave in ndims for those people that don't have
 perl on their server.  Which I can almost guarantee most windows users
 don't since its blocked by many IT groups or if they do they have no clue
 how to use it.

 Do you still think we need a prep script to handle updating srid and
 french srid to something in range or does your script handle that already?
 I guess for non-perl users we'd still need that though and restore you
 can't change geometries easily anyway so we'd proably still need it for
 the French.
