Tom,

I changed gdal.lib to gdal_i.lib in the fdogdal project files (for debug
and release versions).  This forces fdogdal to use the GDAL13.DLL instead
of statically linking stuff in.

I can't see why this should make any real difference.  I did it mainly
so I could more easily replace GDAL13.DLL with new debug builds and
stuff, but magically when I did this the plugin loading started working.
I don't know how meaningful this is.  But I would encourage it as a
general practice.

I never tried mrsid.   So, no, it does not mean that.

Best regards,
