Comment:

 I have tested this fix on postigs 2.1.0 and postgresql 9.2.4.

 While using the parameter '''postgis.gdal.datapath''' from a pqsql session
 works, the double dot in the name prevents it from being set in the
 postgresql.conf file. Upon pg startup, the following error is shown :

 {{{
 LOG:  syntax error in file "/home/edechaux/test_postgis/postgresql.conf"
 line 574, near token "postgis.gdal.datapath"
 FATAL:  configuration file "/home/edechaux/test_postgis/postgresql.conf"
 contains errors
 }}}

 I suggest the parameter name to be changed to '''postgis.gdal_datapath'''.
 The pg server starts up without warning/error and the parameter is still
 working properly :


 {{{
 edechaux=# select current_setting('postgis.gdal_datapath');
            current_setting
 -------------------------------------
  /appli/pgsql/idicsi_2.0/share/gdal/
 (1 row)

 }}}
