Do you mean liblwgeom? At the moment, the library is static and so is 
only really useful to projects tied closely to PostGIS, e.g. WKTRaster. 
This is mainly because we are currently working on the liblwgeom/PostGIS 
interface which is likely to change over time, and as such is likely to 
change. So while it's a feature, it's not quite ready for the prime-time 
yet. Then again, if advertising this feature would bring new people to 
work on liblwgeom then that wouldn't be a bad thing.


ATB,

Mark.
