Jukka,

I guess that it could make sense for some of them, but that would require a 
champion to integrate them, document them, add tests, possibly turn them as 
library functions per RFC 59.1, make sure they compile and run fine on all our 
targets, etc... and maintain them in the long run. I also see a dependency to 
boost (http://www.boost.org/) that we've avoided up to now in GDAL core.
