The GDAL/ORG tools work nicely for vector -> postGIS management. They
also offer some help for rasters although getting a good raster into a
postGIS db isn't that good an idea. Better a good vector MAP, then a
georeferenced raster with the geo data maintained in the db.
I'm currently thinking GM over IM, since IM has been a moving target
since the dawn of time.

What I'm unclear on is what this may mean for mapping. Would this
also mean that, instead of various map types, I would use some tool to
shove my shapefile, GPS track log, etc into the database up front, and
the database would render a map from there?
I'm thinking of vector maps - I have no idea how raster maps would fit
in. I mean, I'm sure they would, but the rendering of said maps would
still be an issue.
Any way to do something about the ImageMagick moving target? Is there
a replacement, or merging an IM/GM fork into xastir (sort of like
shapelib support) useful in any way?
