[gdal-dev] New JP2Grok Driver for JPEG 2000

[Aaron Boxer]

Hi Sean and Even,
Correct, the current JP2Grok does not support the generation of Part 15
code streams.
It's trivial to add, as it just involves adding a new encoding mode, but I
was waiting for a merge
before looking into new driver features.

Also, yes, OpenJPH is being used for the new entropy encoder. As OpenJPH
library is in its
infancy and is missing many features of a mature implementation, I would
recommend
the best approach to be integrating OpenJPH into OpenJPEG and upgrading the
gdal driver
accordingly.

Cheers,
Aaron
