Minor question on the upgrade process and PostgreSQL extensions.  

When I built from source and upon the completion of 'make install', PostgreSQL 
reported [1] that version 2.0.3 was present BEFORE issuing the ALTER EXTENSION 
commands as advised in section 2.9.1.2 of the documentation.  Are the 'ALTER 
EXTENSION' commands really necessary?  If not, perhaps the documentation might 
suggest checking the version first.  If so, a warning in the documentation that 
the reported version doesn't match the installed version seems appropriate.

Thanks.

[1] SELECT "name",default_version,installed_version FROM 
pg_available_extensions WHERE "name" ILIKE 'postgis%'
