Description
In http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5131 Evan wondered why SRID wasn't "null" for geometry columns with no constraint. Indeed I think it would make sense for it to be null in that case. What do you think ?

No. We screwed up enough client software w/ the "unknown srid" change, let's not change our external API ever again.

I'd be fine with that though I fear there might be geometry_columns querying software that expects a number there and would crash when it hits a null.
Probably not something we should step into lightly without some third-party testing.
