adding postgis support to turnkey postgresql

Hi Brent,

The current release of TurnKey PostgreSQL doesn't include postgis but it
should be easy enough to add post-installation:

    apt-get install postgis postgresql-8.3-postgis

Since the packages are quite small, we'll add them by default when we
release the next version of the appliance.

I've created a Launchpad blueprint for this feature:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/turnkeylinux/+spec/add-postgis-to-turnkey-postgresql

If you subscribe you'll get updates.

Cheers,
Liraz
