consolidateGeometry()

void consolidateGeometry	(	GeoLib::GEOObjects &	geo,
		std::string const &	output_name,
		std::string &	merged_geo_name,
		bool const	keep_gml_file )

This encapsulates a workaround: For unknown reasons, the GML->GEO converter will not work correctly when inputting the merged geometry directly. However, if the geometry is saved to a file and immediately loaded again, everything works fine.
