Okay. I'm not 100% convinced by the additional 3rd parameter here:
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-commits/2008-January/000209.html.
I'd like to see evidence that avoiding the memcmp() will actually result
in a more than negligible performance boost, since it seems quite a hack
on the API :(  It would make sense to do this before we release the next
version and people start using the new API in earnest.

Okay that's great.

I'd still like to resolve a couple more issues: if things work for GEOS
2.2.x we can close GBT #8. I also think it would be good to resolve GBT #6
and GBT #7 before we hit the release.


ATB,
