[gdal-dev] 1.6-esri to Trunk Merge
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2009-May/020769.html
"...
 I have created a personal branch of GDAL 1.6 in /sandbox/warmerdam/1.6-esri
 which includes a large variety of ESRI local changes and that I plan to back
 port various 1.7 features needed by ESRI for an upcoming release.
