Chris,


Either the *_wrap.dll -s or the *_csharp.dll-s are belong to the same
csharp interface so these files should be placed into the same binary
package. But we should possibly rename the *_wrap.dll-s to a more c#
specific name (like ogr_cswrap.dll for example) since these files
should go to the common osgeo4w/bin folder where the other unmanaged
dll-s are placed.
Currenly we have an install target in the gdal makefile.vc but I'm not
sure how it is used actually. It should possibly provide the necessary
actions to copy the compiled binaries to the expected location in the
target folder (or something like this). In addition each of the
language bindings should include some additional steps to package the
desired files into a  single compressed file ready to use by the
osgeo4w installer.

Best regards,

Tamas
