Org applications can now only be made by a user when a program allows it. To do this a new access_type has been added called apply. This ensures that users can only used the seeded version of create. Also the review_overview now has his own access type to ensure the separability of hosts for different sponsors in case of org app reviews. Note that the access checks for hosts are broken and only give access to developers at the moment. Patch by: Lennard de Rijk Reviewed by: to-be-reviewed

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.
