Absolutely, we are on the same page :). I was also thinking about the
same, but we need to use a different soname here, instead of renaming
the libraries we will patch the source to have this soname, what do
you think?

Also, what about having the gdaliioext on a different package?, I mean
gdal-javaiioext OR gdal-java-imageio

Like:

<snip>
%files java-imageio
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%{_javadir}/gdaliioext.jar
%{_javadir}/gdaliioext-1.7.3.jar
%{_libdir}/*ioextjni.so.*
</snip>

Thanks
