[gdal-dev] New OGR driver for DB2 Spatial support

[Kyle Shannon]

Patch is a diff of the source tree:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_%28Unix%29

Yours will mostly be new files, but a few will change.

Easiest way to to do that is with svn checkout the trunk, make your
changes, svn add them, then do svn diff > db2.patch.  That makes it
easier for the gdal devs to test.
