Dear all,

while forking for the development is surely a good thing, why would we
want to rename this thing again. Basically the two implementations
will (hopefully) only differ in the choice of the geometry
implementation. I think we should try to share as much cde as possible
and thus try to merge the functionality into GeometryGrid, ,,all''
that needs to be done is to provide a more general way of specifying
the transformation and storing its data.

my 5 cents
