[Geotiff] Support for LIDAR data, LAS format?

[Cody Benkelman]

I'm seeking an update with regard to LIDAR data, in LAS format.  I found
the exchange copied at bottom in the archive:
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2004-June/003599.html

...but I don't see LAS or LIDAR in the current GDAL format list.  May I
assume support for LAS format has not yet been added to GDAL?

Thanks

I have written utilities that read/write las format.  I have not seen
anything 
that is open source, or for GDAL yet.  I would be happy to help out with
such 
a driver, if I can get permission to do so ...  At a minimum, I can
answer 
questions about the format if anyone needs.

Thanks,
