Adust the as_table tag to render a pick link if appropriate The templates are adjusted to pass on a 'reference' value, which is the url_name of the view from which the entity should be picked. The as_table (and related) function(s) construct and then pass on this argument and enable takes_contex so that we have access to the context of the enclosing template. We only extract ReferenceProperties that end with '_link_id' since that is how all RP's are currently named. It is not possible to create a field with the same name as the RP, as GAE will try to interpret it's contents as the key of an entity before even calling any function we can override.

def add_postgis_srs(srs):
    """
    This function takes a GDAL SpatialReference system and adds its
    information to the PostGIS `spatial_ref_sys` table -- enabling
    spatial transformations with PostGIS.  This is handy for adding
    spatial reference systems not included by default with PostGIS.  
    For example, the following adds the so-called "Google Maps Mercator 
    Projection" (available in GDAL 1.5):
    
    >>> add_postgis_srs(SpatialReference(900913))

    Note: By default, the `auth_name` is set to 'EPSG' -- this should
    probably be changed.
