[postgis-devel] perl dependency, via postgresql, perhaps better direct?

[Greg Troxel]

I'm building svn trunk against various postgresql versions, and find
that with 9.0 and 9.1, the build fails because in my postgresql builds
pgxs.mk has PERL set to 'missing'.  (While I have perl installed, it's
hidden from the package build on purpose as part of a plan to avoid
unexpressed dependencies, and there's a split package
postgresql91-plperl for those who want perl stored procedures.)

postgis has a perl script utils/postgis_proc_upgrade.pl used in the
build.  It seems like it would be better to find perl with autoconf as
part of the postgis build, because postgis simply needs perl as a build
tool, and doesn't actually depend on any postgresql perl support.
Basically, this would be one line in configure.ac and using @PERL@
instead of $(PERL).
