[gdal-dev] .ovr files and Lanczos

[Robb Wright]

Thanks Chaitanya.  Unfortunately gdaladdo doesn't support the Lanczos 
resampling type.  Lanczos creates - by far - the best looking 
downsampled images for my type of rasters.  What I'm looking for is a 
way to create pyramid layers/.ovr files using the Lanczos resampling method.
