good to hear that!

The only problem is that this driver is slow.

No, I didn't even know that the HDF5 driver was read only =)

I believe that libhdf5 has methods to create files, it should be a
matter of implementing the GDAL methods passing it to libhdf.

I am currently modifying the HDF5 driver, still very little (optimized
reads using the chunk size), next is georreference, but if I find time
I will try to get into the writing thing...
