[gdal-dev] tps - gdalwarp vs ogr2ogr

Hi,

Does that mean the old raster tps transformation was "wrong" or the old
vector transformation?

I'm doing a test and trying to transform my raster image with the latest
dev version in osgeo4W but it takes forever to process now. Don't know in
how many days I will see the result :(

The vector transformation with the latest dev version was the same (time
and result).
