Mike,

I don't know what happened to your email.  It didn't come through on the list
either.  I don't think there is any filtering on the list other than to bounce
messages from folks that are not members.

Gdalwarp won't do this, but I would like to modify gdalwarptest (the next
generation warper to do it) though it doesn't yet.  Are you willing to test
it if I implementing it in CVS?  Are you setup to be able to build GDAL from
CVS or a CVS snapshot?

Best regards,
