Eduardo,

I am currently working on an OGR DWG driver based on the Teigha libraries
from the Open Design Alliance.  The Teigha libraries are not open source
but they are available under fairly reasonable terms.  As part of that
effort I am implementing "OGR Feature Style" support in a manner similar
to that done for the DXF driver and testing the rendering with MapServer
(using OGR autostyling in MapServer).

I haven't tried the libredwg library.  I am curious about it, but it was
judged inadequately mature for my current client.

Best regards,
