[Qgis-user] Updated GdalTools

[Alexander Bruy]

Hi William

I tried to fix this issue in latest experimental GdalTools (r291).
Settings dialog added where user can select directory with GDAL
binaries. I'm no sure if it necessary to set/customize other variables
such as GDAL_DATA and PYTHONHOME.

I can't test this fix (I don't have a Mac and don't know any person
with it). Please test and report if it work.

Applications (ie QGIS) on OS X don't get anything from the shell environment, like the PATH, and so won't find the GDAL programs in the GDAL framework (and on older systems for those that compile a non-framework GDAL, /usr/local/bin is not in the default PATH).
