Just to clear up any confusion: raster I/O is part of libgis; the
"raster library" deals with raster graphics.

I have been rewriting the latter. I have given some consideration to
re-writing the raster I/O sections of libgis, including integrating 3D
volumes, but haven't actually done anything concrete, and don't plan
to in the near future.

Not in the foreseeable future.
