Comment(by mwtoews):

 Recent updates to the patch include upgrade to the most recent
 GeographicLib release (from 1.37 to 1.39), additions and refinement of
 regression testings (where possible, using independent tests from
 GeographicLib utilities), and amendment to documentation. More details are
 included with individual commits on
 [https://github.com/postgis/postgis/pull/27 github PR #27].

 Before the patch gets too big, could this get a review?
