 It will be useful to add the possibility of clipping based on a shapefile
 mask. This can be done with the gdal_rasterize and the option burn, eg:

 gdal_rasterize -i -burn 255 -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 -l [SHAPELAYER] [SHAPEFILE]
 [RASTER]

 this results ion setting all three bands at 255 for the area outside the
 shapefile in input.

 Thanks Stefano Salvador for the suggestion.
