Pretty much georuby will do the trick, but i'd really like to be able
to define it in a model as say

property :boundary, Polygon

and hook into auto_migrate! so that it issues the correct

SELECT AddGeometryColumn(.......);

I can't see an obviously hook point from within dm-types though. Like
there is no primiative for this (I could use the wkt as a string but
you completely loose GIST indexes etc then). Am I missing something?
