FYI: the rttopo library is a fork of a library internally used by
PostGIS to provide various algorithms on geographic datatypes
including curves. The library does call into GEOS for many algorithms,
in which case the curves are flattened out and re-curved on output.

I'm mentioning this because librttopo is written in C, using the GEOS
C-API and some function written "there" (really in the parent code)
eventually migrated into GEOS itself (MakeValid), even if the
intendend scope is more about "topology".
