[Gdal-dev] Limited type support in OGR CSV driver

[Sebastien Grignard]

Hello.
I've added type support for the CSV driver.
With these patches you can now write a little csv help file to indicate 
the columns types to OGR.
It works as follow :
  - suppose you have a foobar.csv file that looks like this :
    "ID","X","Y","AREA","NAME"
    "1","1023.5","243.56","675","FOOBAR"
    ...
  - now write a foobar.csvt file like this one :
    "Integer","Real","Real","Integer","String"
The driver will then use the types you specified for the csv columns.
The only types recognized are Integer,Real and String.

Cheers.
