 There is no printed message about geos

Comment (by Lars Aksel Opsahl):

 A assume doing online check here maybe out off scope ?
 So if you install postgis and never touch server the next 5 years there
 may not be passed out any info about EOL geos.

 I thinks what's more important is that when you install a new postgis and
 you think that you have an update to date system, it would be nice with a
 warning message about geos if that is not fully up to date.
