Title: Well-known text feature

What do you think about including wkt feature in the gem?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text - here is a description for this markup language.
It's useful when you have to work with geo objects after receiving data from CloudMade service.

Example:
cm = CloudMade::Client.from_parameters('YOUR-API-KEY')
places = cm.geocoding.find('Potsdamer Platz, Berlin, Germany')

(rgeo or other gem for working with geo objects)

factory = RGeo::Cartesian.factory
place = factory.parce_wkt(places.first.to_wkt)

and we have RGeo object which can do some useful stuff (distance, write to DB etc.)
