Folks,

I neglected to mention that the 1.6.0 beta1 source has been used in the
latest FWTools for windows (2.2.8):

   http://home.gdal.org/fwtools/FWTools228.exe

Also, the "gdal-dev" package in OSGeo4W has been updated with the beta
source.

   http://osgeo4w.osgeo.org/

The gdal-dev package needs to be installed via the "advanced install"
sequence.  Once installed you need to run the "gdaldev" bat file in the
OSGeo4W command shell to use the gdal-dev package instead of the 1.5.3
version for the gdal utilities and python scripts.

Note that there is currently no way in OSGeo4W to use gdal-dev with other
GDAL using packages like MapServer, or OpenEV which always use the
standard GDAL package (1.5.3).

Best regards,
