Lorenzo,

It is my intention to use GEOS (the C++ port of JTS) as the basis of spatial
operators in OGR.  I spoke to Martin Davis about it a bit at the MUM/OSGIS
meeting last week.  Apparently GEOS is solid and stable and is caught up with
the latest JTS release so perhaps it is time to act on this now.

I will look into it soon.

Best regards,
