[gdal-dev] Motion: Promote GDAL/OGR 1.7.1RC1 to release and retract 1.7.0

[Even Rouault]

+1 to promote 1.7.1RC1 to release and retract 1.7.0

I'd note that during the testing process, I have had problems building the 
python bindings on one of my environment (not 1.7.1 specific; this also 
occured with 1.7.0 indeed) with python 2.4 and 2.5 due to use of unicode by 
setup.py. I've pushed a fixed since RC1, but as the problem hasn't been 
reported by anyone else and I'm not sure why it only occurs on my 
environment, I'd suppose this is one odd particularity of my setup that isn't 
characterized enough to prevent us from releasing. See
