[MDAL-Developer] MDAL, Python and QGIS

[Paul Harwood]

To slightly answer my own question - there is nothing wrong  with the code
- if I manual add the right mdal.dll for the gdal version and the right
build of the python package it does work.

I guess the question is all going to be about packaging.
