[geos-devel] C API and Coordinates

[David Turner]

I have decided to do a fairly minimal C API, on the theory that it's
better to do too little than to do too much.  The one wrinkle I added
was normalized versions of interpolate and project, for compatibility
with postgis's st_line_locate_point.

Does that look good?
