[postgis-devel] Remove Comments.sql

[Paul Ramsey]

I would like to remove the dependency that runs from docs->comments.sql->extension, as I don't feel like the in-database comments provide any great utility, and the dependency just makes for really obscure bugs.

I was testing my st_makeline(x,y,z,srid) addition and tests failed, why? Because the old signatures weren't in the database, but they were in the comments! Because they were in the docs!

psql:/Users/pramsey/Code/postgis-git/regress/00-regress-install/share/contrib/postgis/postgis_comments.sql:58: ERROR:  function st_makepoint(double precision, double precision) does not exist

Commence the special pleading.
