Folks,

I have built GEOS from SVN on MSVC 9 (express edition).  It works,
though I had to commit a change in source/makefile.vc adding the
new CLocalizer.cpp module.

So, thumbs up for MSVC builds.

PS. I've uploaded the new build as the official OSGeo4W GEOS
package.  I've also observed that there are precision results with
the geostest output on MSVC and it makes the results differ enough
to make the tests useless.  Is this expected?

Best regards,
