[gdal-dev] gdalwarp makes landcover files blocky when shrinking pixel size

[John Twilley]

I've never seen gdaladdo -- neat command!  Alas, the overviews are the
wrong way 'round -- I don't need to zoom out, I need to zoom in.
gdaladdo doesn't handle fractional scale values well, so I can't make
something bigger out of something smaller like I can with gdalwarp.
