I apologize to arrive late to this discussion. I want to clear some things:

- As Google Earth only supports WGS84 projection, PROJ.4 is required to ensure 
correct transformation from any SRS to WGS84 This requisite is on lwgeom_kml.c 
but not in lwpostgis.sql.in.c. So users will see KML functions even if compiled 
without PROJ.4 support.

This should now be fixed in the latest release.

- _STAsKML is an internal function to wrap all AsKML calls before geometry is transformed into 
4326. This function was previously called AsUKML ("u" for "unprojected") on 
first versions of my patch. Lately it was renamed to _STAsKML for compatybility with AsGML 
functions. Any call to _STAsKML(geom) returns pseudo KML with coordinates in native SRS, not useful 
in Google Earth.

Yeah. I can't remember who reviewed/committed the original patch, but the renaming brings it in line with the existing PostGIS convention for "internal" functions which is always good.


ATB,

Mark.
