[Gdal-dev] Autodesk DWF library

[Paul Selormey]

It is simply an alternative to PDF. It started as Whip (may be
to whip PDF!).

If there should be a support for Autodesk formats, obviously it
should be DXF and DWG. May be one day Autodesk will sponsor GDAL
to add the support for their RealDWG library.

Best regards,
Paul.
