This won't be easy, maybe we should add a function to control
precision of GEOS operations as a whole. Check out
lwgeom_geos_wrapper.cpp and try to change the PrecisionModel
constructor in initGEOS from the default to something like:

	PrecisionModel(0.00001);

This would teoretically *grid* every GEOS geometry
(input and output)
