Nobody has maintained it in years. Never compiled it myself.

Applied in trunk and 2.1 branch per https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6714

I've applied a variation and used "OGR_SDE" instead (similarly to the OGR_VRT 
vs VRT drivers). So that the logic in  OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetDriverByName() 
can select the right driver when used the old OGR driver API with the SDE 
name.
