 Since this feature was partly created with us in mind, we should take
 advantage of it.  We might not get to it for PostGIS 2.0 though sicne I
 haven't looked at how much effort is involved.

 So with the new way people would be spatially enabling their PostgreSQL
 database with


 {{{
 CREATE EXTENSION postgis VERSION '2.0';
 }}}


 This will also result in cleaner backups and restores since from what I
 can gather there are provisions to not backup functions etc. with data.
