[gdal-dev] more commands, less utilities

I like the idea of gdaldem with commands rather than seperate utilities.

For some time I've considered proprosing that we do the same with gdal
so that `merge`, `warp`, `translate`, etc. become commands to a single
gdal utility. Ditto for ogr. I've hesitated because there is so much 
inertia (and I'd be asking others to do work that I can't!).
