[FGS] FGS Installation

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

I just check the postgis module on the download site and it seems the 
FGS packages don't include the PostGIS SQL files. You can either install 
PostGIS 1.3.5 which contains the right files or download the postgis 
module from somewhere else [1] and extract those SQL files from it.

[1] http://postgis.refractions.net/download/

We'll try to repackage the PostGIS module to fix this issue.
