[postgis-users] new GEOS goodies in PostGIS CVS

[Paul Ramsey]

I just checked out DB2, all their spatial functions are prefixed with 
ST_.
ST_Union(), ST_Difference(), ST_Relate().
Sucks to have followed the namespace this far and to have to have a 
misnamed function at the end.  Apparently the SFSQL people weren't 
watching the SQL spec too closely when naming the functions.
