Polygon test cases

[greimel]

We are using shptest as a testsuite for the Julia package JuliaGeo/Shapefile.jl#40. We are confused by the fact that the test polygons seem to run in the "wrong" direction.

The polygons defined here

shapelib/shptest.c

Line 168 in 1e01810

x[0] = 1.0;

are exterior polygons without holes. But the rings run counter clockwise. (They should be running clockwise according to the ESRI technical specifications.)

So, isn't the generated shapefile invalid, or am I getting something wrong here?
