If you favor a Java component over SQL, C etc., Java Topology Suite
is worth a look:

Hi all,
I'm working on an algorithm that will test whether a point falls into
various polygons defined by ~30 different shape files with various
projections. I've started digging into GeoServer, which seems to
have no
problems loading the majority of the shapefiles. In your
experience is
GeoServer a good fit for this kind of query? Also, what is your
favorite
query mechanism (something that supports reprojection would be
nice since
I'm pulling a lat/long off of a google map and testing it against
several
different projections)
Andrew,
GeoServer, MapServer, and PostGIS are all pretty heavyweight. Would
OGR work for your needs?
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/
It's got pretty nice Python bindings and comes with many Linux
distros.
Good luck,
Reid
