Thanks Ivan and Felix for taking a look. FastGEO looks promising, I'll dig a little deeper into it. Can you comment on how tough creating an interface to gpc would be? I see that it has Haskell, Java, Lua, Octave, Perl, Python etc. bindings which might indicate it is a bit easier to interface to than cgal.
