Projection support for SDE, images, ...

[Stephen Lime]

There's been no work on either to date. With SDE the API documentation is *very* poor. Since I haven't needed it I haven't pursued it. I'd prefer to take advantage of ESRIs projection engine but it may be that PROJ.4 support is easier to support.

On the raster side. I ain't that hard it's just a poor idea in terms of performance. DM Solutions has this scoped as part of a project. No other plans in the immediate future, unless someone else wants to take it on.

Two questions:

1) How far has the work on supporting projections for SDE
   come?
   The last "nightly" I checked (oct. 25th) had no trace
   of projection support in the mapsde.c file.
   It would be *very* useful to have this available also
   for SDE (not only for shapefiles), particularly for us
   living considerably closer to the north pole than to
   the equator!

2) Is there, or are there plans for, projection support
   for images (could be useful for orthophotos)?
