[gdal-dev] Possible new GDAL driver (funded work) for mapserver access?

[Peter Baumann]

Hi Brent,

apologies, I was not proposing to switch to rasdaman - I rather wanted to point 
to raswct as something that might (or might not) be useful in some way, and 
could be inspected. The code is LGPL, FWIW.

cheers,
Peter
