Yep, for another reason as well: I have a shape-file implementation
(since 1995) which can eventually be converted. It's part of our
original library. It's still being used, all those years, so
close-to-perfect for all shapefiles (there are sometimes some deviations
in it, especially in the order of multi-polygons and holes).
So if ever necessary I (or someone else) can revise that one. Actually
it already works with our geometries. But the style is not yet OK and
there are many dependencies on other classes and files.

Interesting!
