Description

I propose that Lucene's spatial contrib module be replaced with the spatial-lucene module within Lucene Spatial Playground (LSP). LSP has been in development for approximately 1 year by David Smiley, Ryan McKinley, and Chris Male and we feel it is ready. LSP is here: http://code.google.com/p/lucene-spatial-playground/ and the spatial-lucene module is intuitively in svn/trunk/spatial-lucene/.

I'll add more comments to prevent the issue description from being too long.
