Addition to patched README.earthdistance
I wanted to add another two lines to my new README.earthdistance that
provides a suggestion for astronomers using the package. The note suggests
using a different value for the earth's radius that willgive distances
in degrees instead of meters, as this is more useful for star catalogs.

This patch doesn't match CVS at all. Was there another patch?

Yes, I will resend it though, since it was combined with a cube patch
that shouldn't be applied as the CVS contrib/cube matches what I
have. The new one will be the complete contrib/earthdistance patch
which includes regressions tests, a set of earth distance related
sql functions, some fixes for the original earth distance function
that uses the point datatype.
