Justin Bronn 66e1670efa Refactored the GEOS interface. Improvements include:
* Geometries now allow list-like manipulation, e.g., can add, insert, delete vertexes (or other geometries in collections) like Python lists.  Thanks, Aryeh Leib Taurog.
* Added support for GEOS prepared geometries via `prepared` property.  Prepared geometries significantly speed up certain operations.
* Added support for GEOS cascaded union as `MultiPolygon.cascaded_union` property.
* Added support for GEOS line merge as `merged` property on `LineString`, and `MultiLineString` geometries.  Thanks, Paul Smith.
* No longer use the deprecated C API for serialization to/from WKB and WKT.  Now use the GEOS I/O classes, which are now exposed as `WKTReader`, `WKTWriter`, `WKBReader`, and `WKBWriter` (which supports 3D and SRID inclusion)
* Moved each type of geometry to their own module, eliminating the cluttered `geometries.py`.
* Internally, all C API methods are explicitly called from a module rather than a star import.

Fixed #9557, #9877, #10222

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design.

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/. If you're just getting started, here's
how we recommend you read the docs:

    * First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.

    * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt,
      docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).

    * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read
      docs/howto/deployment/modpython.txt for instructions on running Django
      under mod_python.

    * You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics)
      next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific
      problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
here:
