cool! though I"m a little confused as to how this fits with OGR.

Also -- how did you deal with the fact that triangle calls the system
exit() function on error -- that could bring down whatever your host
process is.

We've written a wrapper around triangle for Python (anyone feel free
to send me a note if you're interested), and we ended up handling that
by spawning another process to run triangle in -- but that has
performance issues (copying data around) which would be nice to avoid.

If only triangle has a nicer licensing scheme -- it really is a nice utility.
