I should mention that while a little pre-alpha work has gone into building
GpsDrive for Win32 lately, it is essentially a *NIX program. It relies on
Gpsd, which states on their homepage "No, we don't support Windows — get
a better operating system." [RMS]

While not directly affecting the running of d.out.gpsdrive (to create
backdrop tiles), it does mean that if it was excluded from the MS-Windows
build I doubt anyone would notice much.


semi-related-- does anyone know of a libgis function that will return
the current projection+coordinate's convergence angle WRT true north?
A method to find that with the `proj` program is given here:
