Build problems with Sun Studio compiler (on Solaris x86 & Sparc)

[magne]

geos does not build when using the Sun Studio compiler.

The problems are basically:

1. Some usages of standard library function does not qualify with namespace

sqrt(x) instead of std::sqrt(x) etc.

2. Use of type_info (typeid()) without including <typeinfo>

3. Problems detecting the correct 64bit integer type.

Example output:

/bin/bash ../../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../source/headers -I../../../source/headers/geos -I../../../source/headers -librar y=stlport4 -DGEOS_INLINE -c -o IndexedPointInAreaLocator.lo IndexedPointInAreaLocator.cpp mkdir .libs

Patch for allowing compilation with Sun Studio on Solaris (part 1)

Replying to magne:

geos does not build when using the Sun Studio compiler.

I'm creating two patches for this one. The first contains "cleanup" (i.e adds namespace specifiers, and adding #include <typeinfo> where missing) and should be problem-free, I think.

The other has some (minor) changes to autogen.sh and configure.in, and I will create a separate trac entry for it.

Fixed in trunk (r2131). Magne, big thanks for the patch and sorry for the submission delay.
