[geos-devel] GNU Changes

[Ferdinando Villa]

I'd just call the files different names. As pointed out in the past,
merging objects from different development trees into one library is not
a clean approach automake-wise - I'd very much prefer building separate
libraries (and use `geos-config --libs` to extract the link parameters,
which is much simpler than doing -Lgeos and having to figure out where
prefix is), or building one library with all the sources in one
directory (which would avoid naming problems from the start). Anyway the
solution here is simple - change filenames...
