I would suggest we change this to:

    typedef struct GEOSContextHandle_HS *GEOSContextHandle_t;

which makes it easier for the compiler to catch when we pass in an  
incorrect pointer.  For GDAL/OGR, if you compile with -DDEBUG, this  
pattern is currently applied, but it is not otherwise because we  
didn't want to risk breaking existing client code.
