[Gvsig_english] 3D Extension. CALL FOR TESTING

Hallo

I have not had the patched binaries so I have not been able to test with
PostGIS in 3D.

Since that is my main goal I haven't tried to create anything in any
other format to test. 

So what I have tested is to open a 3D view and open a PostGIS table that
shows only in 2D.

It seed to work, but I am a little afraid that something takes a lot of
cpu because I thought I noticed some strange behavior like some small
freezings in display and sound. But it should be investigated more to
say, closing down other programs and so on.

I also noted that the postgis driver seemed to lock the postgis table
even after I had removed it from my gvSIG project. I had to close gvSIG
to handle the table from pgAdmin.

But it would be very nice to try the patched binaries to see how things
works with all three dimensions involved. 

Regards

Nicklas
