This monster of a patch is the result of Alex Gaynor's 2009 Google Summer of Code project.
Congratulations to Alex for a job well done.
Big thanks also go to:
* Justin Bronn for keeping GIS in line with the changes,
* Karen Tracey and Jani Tiainen for their help testing Oracle support
* Brett Hoerner, Jon Loyens, and Craig Kimmerer for their feedback.
* Malcolm Treddinick for his guidance during the GSoC submission process.
* Simon Willison for driving the original design process
* Cal Henderson for complaining about ponies he wanted.
... and everyone else too numerous to mention that helped to bring this feature into fruition.

* Laid foundations for SpatiaLite support in `GeoQuerySet`, `GeoWhereNode` and the tests.
* Added the `Collect` aggregate for PostGIS (still needs tests).
* Oracle now goes to 11.
* The backend-specific `SpatialRefSys` and `GeometryColumns` models are now attributes of `SpatialBackend`.
* Renamed `GeometryField` attributes to be public that were private (e.g., `_srid` -> `srid` and `_geom` -> `geom_type`).
* Renamed `create_test_db` to `create_test_spatial_db`.
* Removed the legacy classes `GeoMixin` and `GeoQ`.
* Removed evil `\` from spatial backend fields.
* Moved shapefile data from `tests/layermap` to `tests/data`.
Fixed#9794. Refs #9686.
