I added an extension filter for SOSI to QGIS master [0].

Also, for Mac, I added Homebrew formulae for the OpenFYBA lib (fyba) [1]
and a GDAL/OGR shared plugin (gdal-sosi) [2]. The SOSI support was recently
added to the base GDAL formula (gdal) [3], so recompiling it after
installation of fyba will also work, e.g.:

$ brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac
$ brew update

Then...

$ brew upgrade gdal   <-- this will install 1.11.0 'bottle,' if not already
done
$ brew install fyba
$ brew install gdal-sosi  <-- installs ogr_SOSI.dylib plugin in
HOMEBREW_PREFIX/lib/gdalplugins/

Or...

$ brew install fyba
$ brew reinstall gdal --build-from-source --enable-unsupported

QGIS built against GDAL/OGR 1.11 with the sample .sos file loaded [4].

Please submit any issues with fyba or gdal-sosi formulae to OSGeo4Mac
tracker [5].
