[gdal-dev] FITS format not listed in gdalinfo --formats

[Susan Borda]

Thanks Evan, I saw that mentioned in the formats list but I'm not sure how
to "build GDAL" with this library. I just downloaded GDAL and it uses
Python 3.6 but the version of CFITSIO I found uses Python 2.x. I'm using a
Mac but can easily run all of this on Linux VM if need be.
