* This book must describe internals of postgis
programming, so others can hack it.
* Explain how to use an under which cirncunstances.
* How to administer in Windows (altought I use on
Linux).
* Perhaps this book need to be selled with a
postgresql book adminstration so it can focus on the
geometry operations and applications.

Thanks.
