R bindings to the liblwgeom library

This package provides functions that use liblwgeom, including st_geohash(), st_minimum_bounding_circle(), st_split(), st_subdivide(), st_transform_proj() (transform through proj, omitting GDAL) and st_as_sfc.TWKB() (creates sfc from tiny wkb), as well as the geodetic (spherical/ellipsoidal) geometry functions st_geod_area(), st_geod_length(), st_geod_distance(), st_geod_covers(), st_geod_azimuth(), and st_geod_segmentize(). The previously offered st_make_valid() is now a generic in package sf (sf::st_make_valid()).

lwgeom depends on sf, which has to be installed first. This package uses the liblwgeom library, and compiles a shipped (and modified) version of liblwgeom. It links to the GEOS and PROJ libraries.

To install from source, it should be enough to have installed sf from source; the resources for this package (PROJ, GEOS) are being reused.

Previous to version 0.1-6, lwgeom would also try to link the system library liblwgeom; from 0.1-6 on only the shipped version is used.
