Sorry, it is 3.x only.  With my very limited understanding of c++ 
programming, I can only guess if it's even possible to allow compiling 
against both 2.x and 3.x.  I only made a few changes to what Mateusz 
Loskot had already done get things going for me.  I tried allowing it to 
compile against 2.x in the configure script after applying the patch, 
and it doesn't like it the missing 'geos::' qualifier for the geos 
classes.  So I figured that for now this is just useful for anyone that 
really needs/wants to use GEOS 3.x along with QGIS, and as reference for 
when QGIS.

Other than tinkering with the stuff related to geos, nothing I've done 
different from what I did with prerelease 2 (i.e., the configure options 
and environment are identical).  Here are the options I used:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-qtdir=/usr 
--with-python --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config 
--with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config --with-projdir=/usr 
--with-sqlite3dir=/usr --with-postgresql=/usr/bin 
--with-grass=/usr/grass-6.2.0 --with-gsl-prefix=/usr

My qmake and lrelease binaries for qt4 are located in 
/usr/lib64/qt4/bin.  Is there something I need to do to tell it to look 
there?
