actually it's like this:
I have the MrSid UTM 160MB satellite images from NASA, which I want to
convert to latlong first, make an index, and then deliver as jpg with

So first I download the lizardtech sdk, then compile gdal with the sdk
and last compile mapserver with this gdal?

and then I can do all the things I mentioned?
