[Gdal-dev] [ANN] OGRPolygon::IsPointOnSurface()

Hi,

Yesterday, on Frank's request, I added two new functions to OGR
Geometry API:
OGRPolygon::IsPointOnSurface
OGRLinearRing::isPointInRing

The isPointInRing function tests if given point is inside
the lienar ring. The test is implemented as a common point-in-polygon
algorithm called as a "Ray casting" or "Crossing numbers" algorithm.

I'd like to ask for a bit of testing.
Comments are welcome too.

Cheers
