Author: mcayland

New Revision: 3833

Modified:
   trunk/doc/installation.xml
   trunk/doc/postgis.xml
Log:
Some documentation updates; change the instructions for decompressing the tarballs for PROJ and GEOS so that they work for our Solaris friends (as per the instructions for the main PostGIS tarball). Also move version entities for GEOS and PROJ into postgis.xml, so that as newer versions of PROJ/GEOS are released, we only need to update the version number in one location for the change to be reflected throughout the installation documentation.
