The original HWGEOMs didnt have to do anything to force2d or
force_collection() - they were both just setting flags in the
structure.

The force2d was there to reduce network transit - only send (x,y)
instead of (x,y,z).  Mapserver's 2d based, so the z dim would be thrown
away anyways.  Why bother sending 50% more data?

The force_collection was there just to reduce the mapserver wkb parser
complexity.
