Hi, all,

I attached a small patch that adds this -e option, as well as some
documenation sync between the manpage and xml/html for -W.

It compiles, but is not exactly heavily tested, so take it with some salt.

This is a new feature, but as it is relatively unintrusive and not in
the PostGIS core, I think we can apply it to 1.1.X without waiting for
the 1.2 branch (after some testing, of course). Strk, what do you think?
