[mapserver-dev] Drop support for ancient GDAL (GDAL < 1.5.0) ?

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

There are quite a few places in MapServer code that attempt to support 
building against GDAL < 1.5.0 with various #ifdef. I think this is 
unnecessary, and we could happily drop support for such antiquated GDAL 
versions (for reference: Debian Lenny, the oldstable, ships with GDAL 1.5.2) 
for MapServer 6.2.

Any thoughs ?

Best regards,
