great, I can report that 6.5svn now ./configures and builds --with-geos
ver 2.2.3 successfully, and that 'v.select --help' shows new options.


in related issues swig/python/ still fails to build due to too-old(?)
swig ver 1.3.29, but the ./configure check just checks for the presence
of /usr/bin/swig; it doesn't test if that contains what we need.
It would be nice if it could be made to work with older versions of swig
again, & if not, at least the ./configure script should throw an error
when --with-python is given instead of doing what it does now & fail at
compile-time.


thanks,
Hamish
