[postgis-users] Great circle as a linestring

Greetings.

I'm looking for a function to approximate a partial great circle (eg. 
the route taken when flying from London to Tokyo) as a LINESTRING or 
something similar.

Does such a beast exist?  If not, do you have any pointers on how to go 
about implementing that kind of a function in, say, PL/pgSQL?

Thanks.

Colin
