Thank you all for your input. I will start the work later this week and I will keep you posted about the progress. Also, thanks for your support and comments, Mark.
I haven't had the time yet to read the guidelines for developers (regarding style & workflow & all) but I will make sure I do that before doing any work. I was thinking about manually forking the gdal source on GitHub, doing the work there, and, when done, submitting a patch for review.
