Hi,
For some applications it is sometimes interesting to be able to create square buffers around points. So my question to those who know the GEOS code best: How difficult would it be to change v.buffer to be able to do this ?

Indeed, this would be a very cool feature to have! +1!

Buffers around points are trivial, and square buffers around points would be even more trivial. This could be triggered by the already existing -s flag (square caps at end of lines, outside corners straight).
Please create a ticket for square buffers around points such that this request does not get forgotten.

Done [1] already with an attempt at a (very simple) patch. Would be great if you could have a look.
