[gdal-dev] All that code in apps is a bit of waste of effort

[Ari Jolma]

Folks,

There are already quite many applications in the apps folder. Many of 
them contain methods, which could be of more general use than just that 
one command line app. I'm specifically thinking about gdaldem now. It 
would be cool to have its methods available more broadly and through the 
FFI (also sometimes called swig bindings). Then I could have those 
methods easily available in a GUI :)

gdaldem is a bit complex example as it defines four new classes, but still.

Best regards,

Ari
