Don't particularly care about this.

I feel like a better approach for the overall foss4g ecosystem, and
for our own internal work would be to have those aspects of the API in
OGR, which is already a system level utility library.

I don't feel like things are much simpler, and I fully expect we'll
have installation/deployment problems, best intentions
notwithstanding.

I'll put my stake in the ground and volunteer to back the .so stuff
