Re: A more precise polygon_overlap()

See http://www.vividsolutions.com/jts/jtshome.htm for a robust set of
algorithms in Java which do all the spatial predicates (the 3x3
Egenhofer matrix). Also union, difference, and buffer. It is licenced
LGPL. Also see PostGIS (http://postgis.refractions.net) (licenced GPL)
for a set of PostgreSQL GIS objects. We are currently working on porting
JTS algorithms to C++ for use in PostGIS.
