Humm.. Lots of requirements...

Doesn't seems like a good idea to make it different than PostGIS. How is LGPL different from LPG? I'm a license ignorant.

There is a quick list of available functions at the beginning of the file. I would rather go for less maintenance as possible. If you want to copy/remove the doc from the file to the wiki. Feel free to do it.

A small step at a time...

I wrote some criterias at the beginning of the file. It goes like this:

-your function is written in pure PL/pgSQL (no C!),
-your function is generic enough to be useful to other PostGIS users, 
-you follow functions and variables naming and indentation conventions already in use in the files, 
-you document your function like the ones already provided, 
-you provide some tests in the postgis_addons_test.sql file,
-you add the necessary DROP statements in the postgis_addons_uninstall.sql file.
