[Community] Shapely: LineMerger

[Oliver Tonnhofer]

Hi everyone,

I would like to see GEOS LineMerger in Shapely (1.2 if possible).  
There is already a ctypes declaration but there is no Python function.  
I can provide a patch but against which version/branch? I can't get  
trunk to work, the 1.2 branch works fine.

I would suggest to put it in shapely.ops. Maybe  
linemerge(linestringiterator_or_multilinestring)?

Regards,
Oliver
