[Gdal-dev] ArcView binary raster support

I think the ESRI format most likely to be recognised and utilised across
the widest range of versions of ArcView & ArcGIS is ArcInfo GRID (the 
'aig' driver to gdal).

I'm not in a position to offer sharing of costs but I can certainly 
provide GRID rasters across the range of int types and projections for 
anyone who is interested in developing an AIG write driver for gdal and 
needs sample data.

cheers,
