I believe there is a company called debis SystemHaus in Hamburg that
might have something appropriate. ObjectDrawing@lfs.hamburg.cap-debis.de

Ther is also a workbench for computational geometry (which I worked on
for My Master's thesis) in the st.cs.uiuc.edu that might be useful to
you. It certainly isn't a complete geographic framework, but has some
nifty algorithms. It's writeten for V/Mac 1.2, but the algorithmci
code should port easily.
