For those not familiar with the concept, Geocoding takes a human readable address and turns it into coordinates.

The intention of this project is to work towards creation of open source software providing geocoding capability.

Desired attributes:

Handle international addressing schemes (expected to be pluggable to support internationalization)
Library Coded in C (or C wrapper to C++)
Architected and designed for performance
Abstracted storage to allow for use of data from various sources e.g. shapefiles, RDBMS, others

Preference for a liberal license to encourage adoption by maximum number of technologies both proprietary and open source
