[Gfoss] GEOS 3.1.0

http://blog.cleverelephant.ca/2009/03/geos-310.html

The GEOS team is pleased to announce that GEOS 3.1.0 has been pushed
out the door, cold, wet, trembling and looking for love.

Version 3.1.0 includes a number of improvements over the 3.0 version:

    * PreparedGeometry operations for very fast predicate testing.
          o Intersects()
          o Covers()
          o CoveredBy()
          o ContainsProperly()
    * Easier builds under MSVC and OpenSolaris
    * Thread-safe CAPI option
    * IsValidReason added to CAPI
    * CascadedUnion operation for fast unions of geometry sets
    * Single-sided buffering operation added
    * Numerous bug fixes.

Users of the upcoming PostGIS 1.4 will find that compiling against
GEOS 3.1 provides them access to some substantial performance
improvements and some extra functions.

Ciao,
Steko
