One thing that made me hesistate is this.  These numbers are in 1k:

    93      ./doc/html
    147     ./doc
    58      ./examples/wkb_reader
    59      ./examples
    21      ./jdbc/org/postgis
    22      ./jdbc/org
    5       ./jdbc/examples
    30      ./jdbc
    136     ./loader
    164     ./regress
    760     .

The package is 760k.  I know GIS is a major feature, but that size had
me concerned.
