John,

The feedback on the JP2KAK optimizations has been positive, but I wouldn't
say it has been all that extensively tested.

I do believe you can just drop the gdal/frmts/jp2kak/jp2kakdataset.cpp
(and associated makefiles) from trunk back into 1.4 branch without any
problem.  So 1.4.1 + a retrofit jp2kak driver should be an option.

I do believe you need Kakadu 5.0 or newer with the trunk version of the
JP2KAK driver.

Best regards,
