William,

The low level GDAL driver register functions are written like:

    if( GDALGetDriverByName( "ECW" ) == NULL )
    {
        poDriver = new GDALDriver();
        ...

So the idea is that you can call registration functions,either directly or
via GDALAllRegister() multiple times with no ill effect.  

Best regards,
