Geometry based regionator does the wrong thing with lat/lon data
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2047
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2047
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: WMS
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0-beta1
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: David Winslow
             Fix For: 1.7.0


Geometry based regionation uses JTS computed area and lenth, which is wrong 
when the data is expressed in lat/lon. 
For approximate but realisting area computation see:
*  http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucessan/news/bob-aag2007.ppt
*  http://www.geodyssey.com/papers/ggelare.html
*

For lenght we should use the geodetic calculator
