[GRASS-dev] making GEOS as manatory dependency for grass7 ?

[Benjamin Ducke]

GEOS is a beast to compile on MinGW though, so creating
Windows binaries using open source tools might get
considerably harder with this added dependency.

This issue might resolve itself in the future, provided
that MinGW support improves.
