Subject: r.in.gdal support for MrSID included

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.4

Dearest Help!

For the next version of GRASS would it be possible to include a MrSID import option with r.in.gdal.

I understand that the MrSID can be converted to a geotiff and then imported but then you start to loose the effeicency of having the MrSID -by quickly loosing disk space with the conversions to geotiffs.

I am a moderate user, which means I have a low level of understanding how to compile the code necessary to do such a task.  Is there a GRASS user conference coming up that would deal with such a matter?  It might be worth my time and effort to join.

Thank you for your time and help!!

GRASS ROCKS!
