I've nothing other than anecdotal evidence, but I'm convinced Shapely
(https://github.com/sgillies/shapely) has picked up more patches than
it would have if it were maintained within GEOS. I've also been able
to push out 22 releases in the time that GEOS has had 11 (11 is not a
bad number at all).

Isn't Ruby-FFI (https://github.com/ffi/ffi/wiki/why-use-ffi)
production ready? I'm having nothing but success with Python's ctypes
(and libffi) on Linux, OS X, and Windows.
