[MAPSERVER-USERS] Full CADRG and VPF support

[Even Rouault]

Or more simple, from GDAL 1.5, RPF products are directly supported.

So you can do :

gdaltindex tile_index.shp NITF_TOC_ENTRY:CADRG_JOG-A_250K_1_0:rpf/a.toc 
NITF_TOC_ENTRY:CADRG_JOG-A_250K_1_1:rpf/a.toc

where those NITF_TOC_ENTRY values are the SUBDATASET_X_NAME values reported by 
gdalinfo on the A.TOC file.

For VPF, you need to build OGR with OGDI support. After that, you can handle 
it directly in mapserver through an OGRConnection (but that may be slow as 
VPF reading is not fast), or use ogr2ogr to convert it into shapefiles 
before. I use the latest option in production environment for speed reasons, 
as you can use spatial indexing on shapefiles.
