[postgis-users] Geocoding

[David Bitner]

You can find what I've got as of today at http://foo.gyttja.org/geocoder.tar.gz

This is a first pass, I'd love it if some people familiar with
PL/PGSQL and PL/Perl took a look at this.  Basic directions are in the
README.  I'll try to clean this up even more next week with a little
more documentation.
