[Gdal-dev] GDAL Manifest Changes

[Tamas Szekeres]

Simon,

I've tested the solution and works pretty well for the C# interface.
>From the C#'s point of view it would be enough to embed this kind of
manifests only for the
root dll to be loaded first having dependencies to the CRT assembly wrapper.
However it is not harmful to embed the manifests as a resource into
each of  the corresponding dll-s and executables.

Thanks, for your work, I think we would have to make similar solutions
for the mapserver project.

Best Regards,

Tamas
