Comment:

 vmo changes I would make

 Change:
 {{{
 MINORVERSION  = 2011. at POSTGIS_MAJOR_VERSION@. at POSTGIS_MINOR_VERSION@
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 MINORVERSION  = @POSTGIS_MAJOR_VERSION at .@POSTGIS_MINOR_VERSION@
 }}}

 get rid of requirement that it be installed in sfcgal schema. I think most
 people are just going to want to install it in the same schema as they
 install PostGIS especially since some of the functions PostGIS provides it
 supplants.

 sql/sfcgal_upgrade_minor.sql build step use an upgrade minor script built
 by perl script strk has largely changed which can read availability info
 etc.  This will make it less likely to be mangled by Sun Solaris sed, and
 also better able to handle Aggregates once you start adding those. I'm not
 sure if the perl script
 http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/browser/trunk/utils/postgis_proc_upgrade.pl

 needs some changing though.  For now what you have is fine since functions
 should always be replaced and that is all you have so far.
