This sounds like a nice improvement, especially allowing one to read a
wider range of formats.  We've been working on a few tools for internal
(and hopefully external) use, including a viewer, that use liblas for
data reading so it'd be very useful to us.

We're particularly interested in LAS 1.3 support (and were planning to
offer sample data and coding time implementing if needed) as we've
recently acquired a full waveform digitizer for our Leica LIDAR*.

If you're working on a refactoring, it'd be worth bearing in mind the
integration of full waveform data.  Any thoughts on how this might be
best implemented?

Cheers,

Mike.
