Yep.  The rtree library.  We use exactly the same rtree library that GRASS
does.  GRASS is where I got the idea.

One could always try changing the name "CoverSplit" throughout the split_l.*
files to something else (like l_CoverSplit).  There was a brief period where
I had been confused and was suggesting to folks that they try changing
CoverSplit in a different pair of files, but that pair of files turned out not
to be used or even compiled in Xastir's use of rtree (we use only part of
it).
