OK. We've got documentation written and the module could be downloaded
from http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/ltree/ltree.tar.gz
It's works with current CVS and there is patch.72 within the archive,
so people could use it with 7.2 release.

I've attached text version of documentation, it's about 16Kb, sorry for that.
HTML version is available from http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/ltree/

Also, we prepared test data based on DMOZ catalog (about 300,000 nodes)
and encourage people to play with queries.

One known issue: It'll not works with 64-bit OS. We'll certainly fix this
but will appreciate if somebody with access to 64-bit machine could help us.
It's known problem with byte-alignment.
