What are the plans for these 2 tickets? I think that "The idea is allowing users to add easily MrSID support to a binary distribution of GDAL" is a very useful one. Actually, are these 2 patches ready to be used? or should we wait for further development?
Agus, I basically disagree with the approach in 2385 of having a standalone package for the ECW plugin with it's own configure machinery. I see that 2683 is somewhat similar. I'm going to close these tickets as WONTFIX, though folks are welcome to use the patches for their own use. I think it is more appropriate to improve the "in tree" plugin configuration and makefile logic rather than pushing drivers out as their own packages. I did do it for the grass driver, I must admit, but - as always - GRASS is special. Well, that was mostly because there was a complex order issue with GRASS. We needed to build GDAL, then GRASS, then the gdal-grass plugin.
