[gdal-dev] OziExplorer .MAP support in GDAL 1.7

[Jean-Claude REPETTO]

I have noticed that GDAL 1.7 can read OziExplorer .MAP files :

GIF driver :
  * Read projection and georeferencing from OziExplorer .MAP file if 
possible.

Why has this support been implemented in the GIF driver ? .MAP files are 
text files containing georeferencing information, and they can be used 
with other graphics formats, such as JPEG, ECW or OZFx.
