The VSI layer is available to all parts of GDAL and OGR.
If you scan source code of OGR drivers, you'll find that this feature
is already used by, for example, GTM driver:

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/gtm/gtm.cpp?rev=17612#L339

IOW, VSI layer is available and not dependant on GDAL or OGR format,
it's a separate library of common functions.
