So I guess we can leave this to Bborie. Ok for you Bborie?

Just mimic rt_raster_dump_as_wktpolygons to pass the PostGIS Raster to GDAL and return the raster returned by GDAL. Et voila! Then you can implement the wrappers...

There you go Bborie...

ST_Resample (part of FV.06) would also be very useful and be implemented in a very similar way same way as FV.05 if you have time.

Yes. I'm finishing reviewing ST_AddBand (#871) and then will test your fix to MapAlgebra. Then I will do, in order, #866, #643, #644, #645. I will then start working on FV.03.

Sounds good for everybody?
