[postgis-users] PDF version of manual?

[Kevin Neufeld]

Yeah, it looks like things got a little jumbled with the new 
documentation shuffle.

I've reinstated the link on the documentation webpage to an older pdf I 
found (version 1.3.2).  (http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/postgis.pdf 
).  In my spare time, I'll work to update the postgis autobuild process 
to update this file on a regular basis.

Cheers,
Kevin
