That's where Julia might help. From Julia we can call any of the C  
functions directly from the gdal lib without needing to compile anything.
There is this Julia wrapper https://github.com/visr/GDAL.jl but I confess  
that never used it and it probably does not provide wrappers to all  
functions. Bur new ones are not difficult to write.
