[Ubuntu] spatialite on 12.04 ?

[Alan Boudreault]

For your information, we are doing some work and just uploaded 
spatialite 3.1 in ubuntugis-testing. We should finish the in a week or 
so and push everything in ubuntugis-unstable. Due to the lack of time, 
we haven't planned to put other packages but libspatialite3 in the repo 
(spatialiate-gui, rasterlite etc..)

Volunteers are welcome :)
