I'm attaching a rebased version to this email.

Not really, as the problem we are trying to solve is the need
to install many files, and the need to foresee any possible
future bug-fix release we might want to support upgrades from.

PostGIS is already installing zero-line scripts to upgrade
from <old_version> to a virtual "ANY" version which we then
use to have a single ANY--<new_version> upgrade path, but we
are still REQUIRED to install a file for any <old_version> we
want to allow upgrade from, which is what this patch is aimed
at fixing.
