Description
The plan:
Anything that we have said is deprecated (you know all those things with deprecated in 1.2 etc. that Paul has been still using because he's too lazy to type a few extra characters) that we don't even have documented anymore that has an ST_ equivalent shall be removed from the standard install.
For old applications that still require them, we will have a postgis_legacy.sql file with them in it.
If objections, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Also be careful, in that there are two parallel things happening with ST_ functions. This ticket and also this one (#302) which is trying to make sure that cast functions look like desiredtype(oldtype) and the in/out functions look like type_in(cstring) type_out(type). (ie, we are removing st_, not adding, in those cases).
Remember to add any function you remove to the postgis_drop.sql.in.c file.
