[gdal-dev] CRS not defined with BMP

[Etienne Tourigny]

As far as I know, bmp files (like jpeg and gif and probably others)
only support "ESRI World files".  This is not a true CRS definition
though, it only indicated the geotransform.

Even though it is not standard, it would be convenient to update these
drivers to read an associated .prj file

cheers,
Etienne
