I have thought about this, but havent experimented with it.  I also 
experimented with statically linking the c++ library into postgis, but 
was unable to get it work (anyone know how to do it?).

It would be a good experiment to write a simple C++ plugin for 
postgresql and see if it has any problems.  If this works, there 
shouldnt be any difficult problems converting PostGIS to C++ - but it 
could be time consuming.
