I've started porting QGIS to the GEOS C-API this weekend.

QgsGeometry is almost done - except for
QgsGeometry::splitPolygonGeometry(), where cut edges are queried which
is currently not supported in the C-API.  I'll propose a patch to add
that to the C-API.

The WFS provider also uses the GEOS spatial index, that also has no
C-API.  We also have QgsSpatialIndex, which we could you for that or
propose another extension.   An other solution would be to add that to
the GEOS C-API, too.   Opinions?

BTW I ran across this issue, when packaging QGIS for OSGeo4W (along with
Qt4.4, sip, PyQt4 and GSL).  On Windows the GEOS C++ API is not
supported for as DLL and you're supposed to either switch to the C-API
or link the static library.
