Joaquim,

I have confirmed that the windows makefiles omitted an important
bit.  In particular, -DGMT_ENABLED was not defined in the file
gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/generic/makefile.vc so the driver wasn't
being registered by default.

I have committed a fix. I'd suggest you "svn update" and do a
"nmake /f makefile.vc clean" and "nmake /f makefile.vc" to rebuild.

Best regards,
