Hey Charlie.

Just about to make an announcement for the first beta release of
ffi-geos, so you can test away and see how badly it breaks thanks to
my woefully limited testing resources! Hooray for the term "beta", eh?

It would be pretty cool to have a group on github for this sort of
stuff, sure. I'm not quite done with ffi-proj4 due to some weirdness
in jruby, but it's coming along, but that's a whole other thing I
guess.

Windows isn't going to work out of the box at the moment
unfortunately, as it just dawned on me that I had forgotten to add any
sort DLL searching code for MingW or whatever. Hard to test without a
Windows machine available. :/

Anyways, I'll finish up the announcement and that will be that. Hope
it works on at least some of your platforms.

Cheers
