Hey Linh, Robert,

I am doing a very similar thing with Moon data, and am running into
problems with the WGS84 coordinate system.  That is, I can't change it.
  Osgdem is working great for a flat surface, but if I try to make a
spherical geometry I can't seem to change the radius.  I have tried the
radius-equator and radius-polar options, but they don't seem to change
anything.  I am currently going through code trying to find the problem.
  One thing I notice is that the --wkt and --wkt-file options in osgdem
don't do anything.  It looks like are just stubs in the code.  I'll keep
looking to see if I can figure out why my changes to the EllipsoidModel
aren't working.  My best guess right now is that the command line is
changing one EllipsoidModel, but someplace else another EllipsoidModel
is being created but is only using default values.

And Linh, I'm trying to do intersections on the Moon too like this,
perhaps we could share notes when we get something working...
