It's not really a solution to the upgrade problem Paul was mentioning.
The upgrade problem is that if anyone has views using ST_MakePoint
will not be able to upgrade.

If you want to put this user path under automated testing add
such a view in the `create_upgrade_test_objects` subroutine
of `run_test.pl` (yes, we should really move creation of those
objects in a separate file).

Chances are it would be enough to drop the old one in
`postgis_after_upgrade.sql` instead of `postgis_before_upgrade.sql`
but it's best to test this.
