How To Install GEOS for GeoDjango on Windows

I'm starting a GeoDjango project using Python 2.5, Django 1.2, MySQL and Apache. The project will be uploaded to a Linux server but the development will be on a Windows.

The problem is I just can't get passed installing GEOS, how is it done?

In my case, I had to use with my Ubuntu:

 sudo apt-get install gdal-bin

what I did is to install GDAL from this answer, Unable to install Python and GDAL (DLL load failed), and then add this line to settings.py,

GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = 'C:/Program Files/GDAL/geos_c.dll'

then it is fine to use postgis.
