[Live-demo] gvSIG and Kosmo non-free libs test

[maplabs at light42.com]

per conversation in the meeting today... 

uDig
---------------------------------------------
Let's set aside uDig for now, 
  in imageio-ext there are some libs 

gvSIG
----------------------------------------
  Live 7.0 will feature gvSIG 2.0 
  so the library deletion test on gvSIG 1.2 wont be valid for 2.0

steps:
cd /opt/gvSIG_1.12 
for n in *NCSC* *NCSE* *mrsid* *ecw*;do sudo rm $n;done
sudo ldconfig
<launch gvSIG from the Geospatial Menu>

  make a new project and a new view, set projection to EPSG:4326
  open shapefile in natural_earth2
  *appears to work after removing libs*

Kosmo
--------------------------------------
  similar situation, Kosmo 2.x on Live 6.5; Kosmo 3.x on Live 7.0
 ( however I suspect that Kosmo 2 to 3 is not anywhere near that of the gvSIG rewrite )

steps:
cd /usr/lib/Kosmo-2.0.1/libs/
for n in *NCSC* *NCSE* *mrsid* *ecw*;do sudo rm $n;done
ldconfig
kosmo_2.0.1

  make a new project and a new view, set projection to EPSG:4326
  open shapefile in natural_earth2
  *appears to work after simply removing libs*
