Is there any documentation about this point order thing? I'm interested, as
this is important for my simulation, and if there is some sort of standard I
would like very much to read it. I will call correct to order the points,
thought.

Is there any prevision for the intersection test routine? Or maybe I can
help with this routine, if possible - this also interests me a lot.

No, the Geodan SVN. I was able to put to work together the boost trunk and
Geodan svn, boost 1.40 and Geodan svn, but not boost sandbox and ggl from
Geodan or the sandbox itself. Really don't know why not, it just doesn't
find ggl, no matter the paths for the files in /usr/include.

If there is any references, or if I can help, please contact me.
