Hi Frank,

Indeed, for the default implementation it would have been doable to return 
oMDMD.GetDomainList() directly, but for specialized implementations this 
wasn't possible and would oblige them to have a member variable to hold the 
return value. So returning a list to free with CSLDestroy() seemed to be a 
simpler approach.
