[gdal-dev] New OGR Driver for MongoDB

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Shuai,

Would you be willing to outline your MongoDB build steps on a new page
in the BuildHints wiki?  (in section "External Library Issues"
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints).  That way everyone can
follow your steps and they are not lost in the email archives.
