CGAL Geometry library

Hi folks,

On the Boost C++ mailing list, there is yet another discussion going on about
designing a high performance geometry library. Somewhere in the thread,
someone pointed to CGAL and an 'interesting' discussion about its license
policy emerged. They have LGPL'ed their basic data types and QPL'ed their
algorithms. Of course, they want to sell you their algorithm if you can't
comply with the QPL. As noted earlier on this list, the LGPL is not very
suitable for C++ template code, the CGAL base types are 'heavily' C++
templated.
