John,

In my experience the crashes with the ECW 3.3 library are not specific to
recent versions of GDAL.  I've run into them over the years.

I am not aware of any problems with Kakadu and GDAL 1.10.  If you run into
something i'd be interested in fixing it.

Why does the direct use of the app directory object files concern you?  I
can't recall exactly why it is setup that way.  It seems to me I once tried
to use the library for the apps area but it was missing something I needed.
 It seems the current arrangement is just a bit ackward but hopefully not a
serious barrier for Kakadu licensees.

Best regards,
Frank
