Alexis,

On a related point, I am interested in having netCDF support in GDAL.  Is
anyone interested in implementing a netCDF driver?  It would improve
integration with GMT amoung other things and would be fairly easy I would
imagine since there is already a netCDF library out there to use.

Best regards,
