[postgis-users] Errors with postgis.sql

[Paul Ramsey]

Not errors, just warnings.
Chicken and egg problem. In order to define a type, you must reference 
input and output functions. Those functions must reference a type they 
create/read. Circular dependency. PgSQL avoids this by creating a shell 
and then hooking it up to the functions as they are created. It issues 
warnings as this happens. All is right with the world.
