 This will be similar to the opt argument we have for ST_AsGML.  Except for
 flipping we might need 3 as in many applications I think its the y and Z
 that are flipped and y is negated or something.  I'll have to double-check
 on that with my X3D expert partners.

 The option I'd like to have is output as a constrained bounding box (the
 geometry  envelope) -- which bit 32 for GML.

 More useful to me would be an arbitrarily oriented minimum bounding box
 (as described here -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box) ,
 but I don't think I'll be getting that in in 2.0 as the algorithm is much
 more complicated.
