Hi,

Gdaladdo seems to lose some resampling algorithms. The damage with
average_mp can't be big by reading the comment from the gdaladdo manual page
"average_mp is unsuitable for use. Average_magphase averages complex data in
mag/phase space."

Gdaladdo now:
-r {nearest (default),average,gauss,cubic,average_mp,average_magphase,mode}
Gdaladdo once RFC 51 is implemented:
-r parameter now accepts bilinear, cubicspline and lanczos as algorithms.

Otherwise I have not much to say about this RFC. "Blurring" has two r's, and
I think that it is good that gdal_translate will be able to use different
resampling methods and there will be no need to use gdalwarp if warping is
really not needed.

If you will touch gdal_translate anyway and it will do good job with
resampling I would like to see the same -tr option than in gdalwarp for
setting target resolution simply without a need to play with -outsize plus
-srcwin or -projwin.
