Thanks again, fixed again. This was not about casting but the so-called 
"comparable_type" was defined as the coordinate type. I've added a new 
meta-function which is able to promote geometries to either double or 
long long (dependant on input). This one is used now and fixes the issue.

This new calculation_type meta-function will internally also be used for 
other places where currently integers are promoted to double for 
determinant calculation, so side etc. Don't know if that will make it to 
1.49, but the distance-fix does.

Regards, Barend
