[gdal-dev] include paths and cmake

Mateusz,

Just wondering if you've thought about namespacing the include paths?  
That is:

#include "cpl_config.h"
#include "gdal_frmts.h"

Becomes:
#include <gdal/port/cpl_config.h>
#include <gdal/gcore/gdal_frmts.h>

Or (flattened):
#include <gdal/cpl_config.h>
#include <gdal/gdal_frmts.h>

This would make installs / uninstalls cleaner.  Say your install prefix is:

/usr/local

Then your includes go to:

/usr/local/include/gdal

Instead of straight to:
/usr/local/include

I realize this would be a big change.  Just thought since you're taking 
the plunge on cmake it's something to consider.

Take care,
Dave
