Yes, GEOS is currently maintained by another local company. I can likely
take this on as well once I get up to speed on proj and shapelib. From what
I can see FC3 has proj-4.4.8 and proj-4.4.9 is now available. For shapelib,
FC3 has the latest version already.

I setup mapserver and grass last year and ran across some of these issues.
Should be solvable with a little effort.

Haven't used it yet, but it sounds interesting.
