I can do geodetic without disk changes by making it a fully parallel
type, at the cost of losing some code sharing in liblwgeom. It may
well be that this is the best thing, and then merge the types onto the
same liblwgeom for 2.0. Although if we avoid the disk change forever,
... there are many things we won't be able to do.

I am going to try and do my work on a spike and merge trunk into my
spike regularly so that I can merge back into trunk when I have
something that "does stuff". Until my hands are really dirty, the best
course of action is not going to be clear to me.

It's only going to have 4 functions :) So hopefully I will prove you wrong.
