Shapely for Python 3.0

Shapely is a thin wrapper for libgeos_c. How thin? With help from the 2to3 tool, I ported Shapely to Python 3.0 in less than an hour -- that's how thin. Since distutils and setuptools aren't quite ready to go, you will have to get the code from the lab repository, add it to your path, and import it in place if you want to try it out:

$ svn co http://svn.gispython.org/svn/gispy/Shapely/branches/py3k spy3k
$ PYTHONPATH=spy3k /usr/local/py3k/bin/python
Python 3.0a1 (py3k, Aug 31 2007, 17:11:43)
