actually the reason mainly was to be able to use the same libraries 
independently in separate extensions.

minus two of my extensions, there is one extension leftover in the repository.

the representation (information,usability) of this extension does not meet a 
minimal level of usability i would expect and does not compare to the rest of 
oj's quality.

we are short on man power and i argue we should rather spend the effort in the 
suggested than on maintaining one repository for an inferior extension.

how about integrating the latest version by using the latest distro and i will 
integrate geomconv into trunk sometime soon.
any reason not to put the language files under src/language/geomconv ? the main 
files are overcrowded already.
