[geos-devel] Namespaces and headers split

[strk at refractions.net]

Yes, taking include out of source/ seems fine to me.
CAPI should still reside outside of the main src/ IMHO, as
it's really an additional interface, and a separate library.

Also, renaming 'source' to 'src' seems good.
Time for SVN ?
