Intergraph?

Anyway, that must have been before GDAL 1.9.2 - after that, the mrsid plugin,
if installed, even caused an instant crash.  But that package meanwhile rebuilt
for 1.9.2.

The current situation is no ECW support in OSGeo4W - and before we were also
only shipping the gdal ECW plugin, but not the ECW DLLs.

Building the 3.3 SDK from source with VC10 and doing a GDAL plugin based on
that also works, but the licensing/distribution issue for the ECW DLLs is
unclear to me - and therefore we didn't upload that plugin.  It's not usable
without VC10 builds of the 3.3 ECW DLLs and doubt that they are publically
available anywhere.
