[gdal-dev] Will gdalinfo generate the pam .aux.xml files?

[Even Rouault]

The reason is that .aux.xml files are generated only when it is necessary, 
that is to say when the underlying base format cannot store the metadata.

You could just iterate through all your files and store the output of gdalinfo 
in a file to fetch it layer. Or you could use 'gdal_translate -of VRT in.ntf 
out.vrt' that will produce a XML file (not the same as the .aux.xml) with at 
least the metadata.
