You consider gdal like a metaport ?
Needs also the java binding. What about the R-gdal and gdal-grass ports ?

I will try to port some drivers :
- libgta http://gta.nongnu.org/gtatool.html
- ogdi http://ogdi.sourceforge.net/
- FileGDBAPI Esri 
http://resources.arcgis.com/content/geodatabases/10.0/file-gdb-api (I 
don't know about license...)
- RASDAMAN 
http://rasdaman.eecs.jacobs-university.de/trac/rasdaman/wiki/Download


And also, what do you think about the recurring question about unixODBC 
and libiodbc ?


Thanks for your works.
