Hi Frank,

You're right. I've suffered confirmation bias.

I have been having problems with the shift to 1.9, and clearing out multiple copies of the dlls (there are many suggestions on where to put them and I ended up with copies in most of these (just to be sure!) ) until GDAL complained and put them back in the osgeo/bin folder first. 

I've just put things back exactly the way they were, and Gdal-ecw still behaves as it should.

Thanks muchly for the plugin. I understand the concerns about proprietary information, but it's more-or-less essential. 

-ramon.
