[postgis-devel] GDAL dependancies - was PostGIS 2.1.0 beta2 is ready

[maplabs at light42.com]

I introduced the idea of dropping MySQL from oridnary GDAL to the devs 
a while back for this reason
. but 1.10 proceeded without change in that area.. 

Minimal GDAL definitely does not need a dozen or two packages ... 

This topic is in flux - there is no optimal answer and user 
requirements are changing too
in particular, I see standard support for MySQL is drying up in many 
corners of OSS land
