Comment (by jorgearevalo):

 I've implemented this (function wkblify_band):

 - bandidx (band number) comes from caller method: wkblify_raster_level.
 1-based index
 - the path to the external file is the same provided with the option "-r
 <raster_name>" when calling the loader

 After this, I've commented these lines in rtpostgis.sql.in.c:

     -- Verify out_db[[BR]]
     -- TODO: Waiting for out-db rasters[[BR]]
     --IF ( p_out_db = true ) THEN[[BR]]
     --        RAISE EXCEPTION 'TODO: Outside database rasters not
 implemented yet';[[BR]]
     --        RETURN 'fail';[[BR]]
     --END IF;[[BR]]


 Once re-compiled, I've correctly loaded a raster with outdb support doing
 this. Do you think the approximation is correct? If yes, I'll finish the
 out-db raster reading support in GDAL, and I'll test it (this is one of my
 GDAL tickets: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3234
