[Gdal-dev] New phyton utility

[Christian Mueller]

Hi, I am new to the gdal-dev list and have some questions.

For my project I had to tile 4 different maps of Austria and to build tiled 
overviews. I tried to handle this with the gdal utilities but I had very long 
runtimes. 

Inspired from gdal_mergy.py I developped a counterpart called gdal_tile.py

This utility has the following features

tile an image (each tile in its own file)
retile a tiled image 
create tiled overviews (building a pyramid)
creating shape files for all the generated tiles for providing the basic for 
fast access
reproject the new  tiles

Searching the internet shows me that I am not the only guy having this 
problem, so I would like to contribute this python module.

What are the next steps
