Bruce,

You are right that some of these methods could/should sensibly be moved up
to the OGRGeometry classes.  However, I have been hesitant to start implementing
and document custom OGR implementations of these sorts of utility geometry
functions when I anticipate integration with GEOS to fill most of this
capability at some point.

Best regards,
