Comment(by robe):

 done at r10750.  raster_columns, raster_views, spatial_ref_sys,
 geometry_columns, geography_columns are all public viewable on install.


 The only issue is that the GRANT command is being stripped for
 geometry_columns, geography_columns, spatial_ref_sys for upgrades.  Do  we
 want that?  I'm scared of that perl script so don't want to touch it.

 I also did not touch topology since those really ARE tables so we might
 have security concerns there since what is listed can't be protected by
 internal logic check of view.
