Not sure I will CC him on the possibility.

>From my standpoint I have gone for beer with Martin and talked about what it
would take to get curve supported (that is where my half a million number
comes from). The way to break the problem up into front end geometry and
back end operations (which we would choose from based on coordinate
reference system) comes from discussions with Martin and Adrian Custer.
So the plan is sound; just no way to fund it at this time.

As for this short term hacking - I will talk to Martin when this WKTParser /
WKBParser is finished and see if he wants the code (he may since he supports
EWKT / EWKB in order to match PostGIS and this is what PostGIS is now
doing).

As written it is in a format that Martin would probably accept - since it
produces normal JTS LineString and Polygons.

The step I am trying to interest Landon in working on (custom Geometry
Extensions) would more be a proof of concept that we could pass over to
Martin if it works; since the operations (ie the back end) would still be
linear there is a chance it is within the scope of JTS.
