Since I implemented such a thing in C++ in the late 90's once, I exactly know what's involved. So rest assured, I'm not going to do it again. And I hope you accept me contributing my time even if I'm not going to rewrite it. And hey, I'm not skeet-shooting or criticizing, all I said was I'ld have done it differently. And - IIRC, I said I'm impressed by GEOS. But I stop responding to this thread, it's way too far off topic already.
