If you have several databases to update, the easiest way may be to use
an edited copy of lwpostgis.sql.

Simply remove (or comment out) the BEGIN; and COMMIT; lines (line 19 and
3186 in my version 1.108), and ignore the error messages.

All function definitions are replaced, and everything else gives an
error message. So it works fine as long as the only things that actually
change are functions. Types and operators may be added, but not change.

This "Quick and Dirty" hack worked for me several times, but your
mileage may vary.

HTH,
markus
