It is now basically running for most linear/aereal combinations 
((multi)linestring/(multi)polygon/ring). Almost all cases are running. 
Almost, because there is at least one case not yet finished and there 
might be more. But those are the more exotic ones, you will probably 
(depending on your usecase of course) have no problems. In case you are 
trying it already and encounter a problem, please report it.

Next week I will continue with those other cases, the difference (here 
the complement of the intersection), and a robustness test to verify 
more cases. Robustness tests are also done for polygons, it found at 
that time also some new cases so quite convenient.

Regards, Barend
