Hi Aron,

I haven't had time to bring Shapely up to date with GEOS 3.1. Soon, I  
hope, as I'm getting better settled in France. I also don't have a  
Windows machine for testing. Would you be interested in taking some  
ownership of and responsibility for windows issues and builds? While  
I'm asking, how about you, Jaakko?
