If I understand the problem, then it cost nothing!

You have to check the winding while loading a OGRGeometryH
like so:
                double area = 0;
                for (unsigned int i=0; i<vert_count-1; i++) {
                    double x1 = OGR_G_GetX(hRing, i);
                    double y1 = OGR_G_GetY(hRing, i);
                    double x2 = OGR_G_GetX(hRing, i+1);
                    double y2 = OGR_G_GetY(hRing, i+1);
                    area += (x1*y2) - (x2*y1);
                }


If the area < 0 then it is CW (clockwise) and > 0 is CCW (Counter CW).

Note that in S57 the exterior ring must be CW and
interior ring are CCW.

But in S57 there is no order between rings. So interior ring
might come first. I think WKT fix this. In my code I assume
that OGR place the exterior ring first.


We have been trough this before. At the time the question 

was if S57 allow for many exterior ring for the same poly.

I guess it all depend on HO and how they encode the data.

I'm using mostly Canadian ENC and found no problem.

But other HO might encode ENC differently ..
