About ShapeTree and Raster TileIndex {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Dear Akio,

TILEINDEX should refere to the shape file crreated by gdaltindex
I have read a thread on the list, do not append extension to the
name of the shape because it will search for name.shp.qix file as
spatial index. To tell you the truth I have no check the performance yet.
