ECW on mapserver4.6

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

What version should be used ?

  I am using binaries from:
ECW JPEG 2000 SDK Release Candidate 1
Version 3.1
Date : 18-02-2005

  I just cheked at ermapper site and the one available is still a 
Release candiate 1 :

ECW JPEG 2000 SDK Release Candidate 1
Version 3.1
Date : 06-04-2005


There is also a download for source code so I am wondering if I should 
consider building the binaries myself.
   I am upgrading to the latest one for now.

Later,
