MBROverlaps(g1,g2)

Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the Minimum Bounding Rectangles of
the two geometries g1 and g2 overlap. The term spatially overlaps is
used if two geometries intersect and their intersection results in a
geometry of the same dimension but not equal to either of the given
geometries.
