A year or so ago I did exactly this - building OPeNDAP support into gdal
on Win32. So it's very possible if you feel comfortable building from
source on Windows. That was on an older server machine and I don't think
it ever got integrated into the trunk. I'll look around for it and let
you know. The real problem, though, is that many OPeNDAP datasets I've
encountered are either inverted or span 0-360 instead of -180 to 180, so
I ended up having to write scripts to preprocess them anyway...
