[gdal-dev] Implementing a streaming version of KML Driver

[Dmitry Baryshnikov]

Hi,

https://code.google.com/p/libkml/downloads/list?can=1&q=&colspec=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount

The last release was on Feb 2010 - 5 year ago. Does the libkml still alive?
Also libkml has depending on boost, and kml driver has no external 
depending.

Best regards,
     Dmitry
