[gdal-dev] Png image georeferencing with .tab file

[Even Rouault]

Jukka,

You right, currently, the GeoTIFF driver is the only one that reads .tab 
files.

This kind of enhancement request is not unusual. I've been able to find 
similar ones : http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/1253 for ECW and 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/682 for JPG.
In #682, an idea is suggested to generalize the implementation of .tab support 
for all drivers.

(This is a bit similar to reading ESRI World files, which is supported by 
quite a large number of drivers, but not all.)

Best regards.
