Folks,

I'm just trying to catch up on this topic.  There is already a stdio
based implementation in shapelib itself.  I have attached it,and it is
normally in a file called safileio.c.

I'm afraid I'm uncertain of the implications of mixing the Shapelib 1.3
code with GDAL's using Shapelib 1.2.  It seems potentially like it could
be a problem.

Best regards,
