It just makes creating new databases with spatial enabled possible
from the SQL command line:
CREATE DATABASE newdb WITH TEMPLATE=template_postgis;

interesting.
i also see a postgis template database. does that only help to
spatially enable new databases (likely) or also help spatial queries
from other databases (not likely, but if so, how is this
inter-database querying happening)?

Correct, that's how most do it. dblink is an option, but I have no
experience to share on that. Just from a straight design PoV though,
the complete opacity of a dblink table in terms of size, selectivity,
indexes, etc, means that you'll have to be pretty careful about what
use cases you try and push through that pipe -- it's not a
transparent gateway, it's more of a straw.

given this:
- cluster
-- database
--- schema (except public schema can be accessed from outside)
---- table, function etc
it means (and i didn't want to accept this conclusion) most postgis
shops have 1 kick-ass database for all their geom and related non-
geom
tables separated by named schemas. users, permissions etc are all
restricted by these named schemas and *all* geom tables are
contained
in this monster database (to avoid duplication).
well that'll certainly ease administration :).

In what respect do you find that postgis doesn't support multiple
schemas? We generally install postgis in 'public.' and create lots
of other schemas ('foo.', 'water.', 'etc.') for our data tables.
