New port: graphics/geos implements all OpenGIS "Simple Features for SQL"

	GEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source) is a C++ port of the
	Java Topology Suite (JTS). As such, it aims to contain the
	complete functionality of JTS in C++. This includes all the
	OpenGIS "Simple Features for SQL" spatial predicate functions
	and spatial operators, as well as specific JTS topology
	functions such as IsValid().

	More precisely, GEOS is a library containing functions which
	implement OpenGIS specifications concerning operations on
	geometric objects. Despite its categorization in the graphics
	subdirectory, it is more suitable in a "gis" category for
	Geographical Information Systems software. I would like to
	suggest the ports team to create such category because of
	the so many free software available on the internet. Please,
	look at www.freegis.org. I am working on porting several
	of them to make FreeBSD ready-for-GIS. Feel free to contact
	me for more information.
