//*Timesaving GDAL Integration*
Save time by accessing the ERDAS ECW JPEG2000 SDK via the Geospatial 
Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) interface. By simply adding the SDK, 
developers already using GDAL can easily provide ECW and JPEG2000 read 
support in desktop applications (without having to learn an additional 
toolkit).
