Comment(by robe):

 2,3 - that's a problem since it means users can't add sfcgal support after
 installing postgis.  Something admittedly we have an issue with with GEOS
 versions, but that I'D REALLY like to get away from especially since it
 has the uncomfortable effect of an extension requiring another extension
 to be compiled in a specific way.

 I much preferred the old way where sfcgal was in its own schema and users
 just add it to their search_path.  I wouldn't be so worried if this was
 more tested before we fold it in beta. Have you tested this on 9.3 to see
 if it even works? If it doesn't it CAN'T go into 2.1.

 On another note -- why is run_test being changed as well.  That seems to
 have nothing to do with sfcgal as far as I can tell.
