[Qgis-developer] Qgis custom buil to read obfuscated data

[G. Allegri]

@Sandro: it's a requirement I'm asked to implement, not an hypothesis to
discuss. We can debate on the choice, but that's not my problem at now ;)

@Niccolò: good point. Howevere one could write a non GPL piece of code (the
minimum to keep the data undisclosable) and link qgis to it. Is it forbidden
by GPL license? I don't think...
