Note that the treatment of the --with-gdal flag is different to most
of the other --with-* flags.

If you specify --with-gdal, r.in.gdal includes gdal.h, and links
directly against libgdal, as is the case for other libraries.

Without the --with-gdal switch, r.in.gdal includes gdalbridge.h (which
is part of the r.in.gdal source code), and doesn't link against
libgdal; instead, it loads libgdal at run-time using dlopen().
