[Patch] Shapefile handling is broken for 3D shapefiles
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-3259
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3259
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: data shapefile
            Reporter: Simon Thum
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
         Attachments: suppress-3D-order-reversal.patch

We found that the shapefile reader/writer reverses polygons depending on their 
order.
This is fine for 2D shapefiles, but for 3D shapefiles the vertex order is not 
determined
appropriately, thus the inflections based on it are invalid.

We made a patch which fixes the issues we have (polygon order problems), but it 
isn't neccesarily
the best way to handle this, and probably more bugs are looming in 3D shapefile 
support.

The patch should keep the 2D behavoiur intact, though in general I think the 
fixup logic should be
suppressable altogether.
