Oracle FDW 1.1.0 with SDO_Geometry PostGIS spatial support

Oracle FDW is a foreign data wrapper PostgreSQL extension that allows you to read and write to Oracle database tables from a PostgreSQL database. You can get it via the PGXN network or the main website http://laurenz.github.io/oracle_fdw/.

What is new about the latest 1.1.0 release is that there is now support for the Oracle SDO_GEOMETRY type that allows you to map the most common geometry types POINT, LINE, POLYGON, MULTIPOINT, MULTILINE and MULTIPOLYGON to PostGIS geometry type. Much of the spatial plumbing work was done by Vincent Mora of Oslandia. If we have any Windows Oracle users out there, yes there are binaries available for windows for PostgreSQL 9.1- 9.4 for both 32-bit and 64-bit. The FDW does have a dependency on the OCI.dll which I think comes shipped with Oracle products. Unfortunately, we are not Oracle users so can't kick the tires.
