Stephan,

Well, I was thinking in terms of working with wkbUnknown in some reasonable
way - even if it ends up having to scan some features to establish a type
or ask the user if it really needs a single geometry type.  Note that there
are drivers which return a mix of geometry types such as DGN, and potentially
OCI.
