table to query based on parsing the 'table' parameter, which may fail for complex queries with more than
one 'from' keyword. Using this parameter should allow for existing metadata and table indexes to be used
while opening the door to much more complicated subqueries being passed to the 'table' parameter without

- PostGIS Plugin: Added optional 'geometry_field' and 'srid' parameters. If specified these will allow
Mapnik to skip several queries to try to determine these values dynamically, and can be helpful to avoid
possible query failures during metadata lookup with complex subqueries as discussed in #260 and #436, but
also solvable by specifying the 'geometry_table' parameter. (r1300,#376)

- PostGIS: Added an optional 'extent_from_subquery' parameter that when true (while the 'extent' parameter is
not provided and 'estimate_extent' is false) will direct Mapnik to calculate the extent upon the exact table
or sql provided in the 'table' parameter. If a sub-select is used for the table parameter then this will,
in cases where the subquery limits results, provide a faster and more accurate layer extent. It will have
no effect if the 'table' parameter is simply an existing table. This parameter is false by default. (#456)
