Metacat

This is the c++ code that is used to write the shapefile. This code requires
the shapelib.

Filed used my the Metacat Spatial Option. Generally these files represent
the portion of the spatial option that harvests spatial elements from a
Metacat, and stores the elements as a shapefile on the file system. This
option, at this point, is pretty much independent of the metacat application....
