Ivan,

The problem with the GSG driver does not manifest at built time (except
as nasty warnings).  It only comes up at runtime.  So either check the
warnings carefull for stuff in the gdal/frmts/gsg directory or actually
try running "gdalinfo -mm " against the autotest/gdrivers/gsg_binary.grd
file.

Well, these are intended to be updated appropriately for the
local context when they are uncommented - and frankly everyone
uses a different base directory name.  So I'm not really
enthusiastic about an additional layer of macros and assumptions.
