Strk so you okay with backporting the change.  As Darafei said, it's technically a bug we never bothered to fix.

I'd LOVE to backport not installing liblwgeom include.  The library we probably have to wait to 3.0 since some people have standardized on dynamically linking it.

I'd love make it all statically linked in 3.0 for both commandline and the extension lib files so each file doesn't drag in more dependencies than it needs to.
