Need 'geos_c' as library name for Windows
The OSGeo4W project (http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/) provides the GEOS library as 'geos_c.dll' (by default in C:\OSGeo4W\bin\).
So adding the name 'geos_c' in gis/geos/libgeos.py in the "os.name == 'nt'" case would be nice and save us the pain to set a GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH setting.
By the way, who provides the lib as 'libgeos_c-1' ? Cygwin ? A comment about originators is welcome.

Replying to master:
Excellent question. The Application Stack Builder (ASB) that comes with the Windows distribution of PostgreSQL allowed users to install PostGIS, and is the source of
libgeos_c-1.dll. I assume it was named that way to prevent conflicting with other libraries, like FWTools.
