I have recently made a Homebrew formula for Mac that allows liblwgeom to be
built without Postgres/PostGIS installs (a bit of a hack, actually). So,
the standalone lib is now readily available on Mac OS X as well [0].

+1 for this to be included in QgsGeometry or similar class.

It would help solve labeling issues where the extents-clipped geometry is
invalid. Would slow rendering down, of course, but would be good to have as
an option for faster machines and print jobs. Note: the validity fix would
be applied to the duplicates of feature geometries, which are used by PAL.
