Justin / Eric,

I can try to incorporate this if you like.  I already have some configure
script for this from MapServer.   Also, full GDAL installs include a
gdal-config script (in the spirit of things like gtk-config) which should
make it fairly easy to check for GDAL.

However, if a pre-installed libgdal includes libgrass support, there may
be conflicts trying to use that libgdal in r.in.gdal.

Best regards,
