 so why don't we just include it by default? GEOS is nice.

 +1 for including rgeos in that case. I assume it links in with libgeos.so
 or similar so there's no great burden on the system.

 Its also a prerequisite for how I'd like to develop the quickstart with
 some geometrical operations - I think there's another ticket for that!

 No time to try it or test it at the moment...
