A quick look at how to install gdal lead to scary pages, and a requirement
to install GEOS, etc.
Looking at tests/gis_tests/models.py, it looks like it's trying to neuter
itself if the GIS requirements aren't installed, but I guess it isn't
doing it well enough?
I'd be glad to hack on making this better if someone could guide me on the
philosophy to follow.
