Thomas / Marie-Claire,

If there is sufficient interest, and if Autodesk doesn't mind, I could
look at providing the GDAL raster provider for use testing.  It would
take me at least a week or two to get it in shape with the latest code
base and it is far from complete.

To be honest, I have only tested it with FDO level API clients so far,
so I need a bit of time to try it out in the context of MapGuide.

This would likely be pretty fiddly work, but a chance for users and
developers to collaberate to accelerate development!

Work on the GDAL FDO provider has temporarily stalled while I wait for
Autodesk technical resources to free up for reviewing and testing what
I have done.

Best regards,
