Michele,

The MGRS functions in frmts/nitf/mgrs.c are not part of the public GDAL
API.  If you want to use them, you will need to "reach in" to GDAL to get
the right include file.  On Win32 it is unlikely the entry points will be
exported from the DLL though this is not an issue on linux.

Basically, it is a "use at your own risk" undocumented capability.  It
exists in GDAL because it is used internally in the NITF driver.

Best regards,
