Personally I don't see the benefit of 1 big file vs. many 0-length
files to justify the cost (time and complexity) of a PostgreSQL change,
with the corresponding cost of making use of this new functionality
based on PostgreSQL version.

We'd still have the problem of missing upgrade paths unless we release
a new version of PostGIS even if it's ONLY for the sake of updating
that 1 big file (or adding a new file, in the current situation).
