The current "plan" is to use geohash to spatialize H2. I did some 
experimentation and its relatively easy to implement, although not as 
effective as an R-Tree, but good in a lot of cases.

I more or less fixed these OSX issues. But the jdbc driver has a few 
issues, I have submitted a patch which has been rolled in and its now 
useable, but has some issues surrounding primary keys which i am working 
on another patch for. It's on my TODO list to get it to releasable.
