Seems you're right. It should be easy to fix, but I want to find if
there are any corner cases. Anyways, I created a ticket for your bug:
http://code.pgadmin.org/trac/ticket/125

I don't think so. I can be wrong, but I don't think we did something
like that before. typmod is available since 1.10, and I don't remember
we fix something for typmod in 1.10.1.

I tried it, but failed to make it work. Finally, I compiled PostGIS SVN
on Linux, which was more easy.
