file formats

[Tyler Mitchell]

I have also heard that OGR now supports E00 file format.  Although  
you wouldn't want to read them directly due to performance issues,  
you can at least convert them using OGR now.  I'm not sure if that is  
in the current binary release of GDAL/OGR or whether you need current  
source version.  But either way, it's a hurdle we are now over.. whew :)
