-------------------------------------+----------------------
 Currently, our internal thirdparty GDAL is always built with a fixed set
 of supported drivers and features irrespective of what external libraries
 are available to us.

 However, when we build FDO, we are building providers that require libs
 that can also be supplied to the GDAL build, such as:

  * PostgreSQL
  * MySQL/MariaDB

 Right now the current internal GDAL build script is not set up to take
 advantage of these extra libraries.

 The `Thirdparty/gdal/build.sh` should be modified to allow enabling extra
 features when calling the `./configure` script. This could be something as
 simple as an override environment variable for the `./configure` script
 invocation.
