While I can appreciate Olivier's design goals, I can also see the HUGE
value provided by OGR support in TinyOWS for lots of users, and doing it
with the help of libs such as GEOS is clearly feasible even if it might
result in a bridge of (slightly) inferior quality to the support
provided by the prime backends (PostGIS, Oracle SPatial and SQLite).
The challenge may be a bit big for a GSoC student, but I think we
shouldn't completely rule out the idea of supporting OGR in TinyOWS if
the right project and funding became available.
