I like the idea of gdaldem with commands rather than seperate utilities.
For some time I've considered proprosing that we do the same with gdal
so that `merge`, `warp`, `translate`, etc. become commands to a single
gdal utility. Ditto for ogr. I've hesitated because there is so much
inertia (and I'd be asking others to do work that I can't!).
Matt, etc,
I would say that before folks become too dependent on the existing
utility interface is the time to do a change like this.
I did introduce gdal_manage so that small operations would not need
to each be a distinct utility.
Best regards,
