Jean-Daniel,

I have no idea about this.

I also don't know why this isn't working.  But I would suggest you
figure out whether your new driver is listed when you do "ogrinfo --formats".

If not, then investigate whether the registration call is actually being
called in ogrregisterall.cpp.  If so, then I would suggest adding debug
messages in your open function to see if it is being invoked at all.  If
not, perhaps a previous driver is trying to open the file, and failing.
Normally each driver is tried in turn till one either succeeds or one
fails issuing an error.

Best regards,
