Comment:

 I have packaged gdal-ecw-1.9.0-0 and now it should be possible to use it
 with GDAL on OSGeo4W per instructions in
 http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-gdal-ecw

 +jef

 I see it does not currently work because the qgis.bat evilly sets
 GDAL_DRIVER_PATH.  If this needs to be set it should be delgated to the
 gdal.bat file and anyways it is not supposed to include the version
 subdirectory.  This completely defeats the ability of GDAL to pick up only
 the dlls of the proper version.
