[postgis-users] Early Special: 1.0.0 Released (Doc for french users updated)

[Mike Leahy]

Jean,

Actually, I read through your french instructions using a translator. 
Of course, it doesn't translate perfectly, but I'm fairly sure I'll be
able to get through it without English after all.  Thanks for putting
these instructions together by the way.

I did get Marc's installer - I don't know what I would have done without
his work over the past few months.  I'd probably still be using PostGIS
0.8 in Cygwin by now.  However, my reason for wanting to compile it
myself is that I'm interested in being able to compile the CVS, if/when
important changes come out.

Thanks for the offer though...
Mike
