Ciao Jody,
as we are moving the gdal plugin to supported, I was thinking about
actually reverting the mechanics of the switch.

Right now you build with gdal only if explicitly requested, in the end
I would like build with gdal by default (even though we might not ask
people to install the native libs) but still, give users the
possibility to build without gdal.
I got to talk to daniele before I can actually come up with a more
precise proposal.

Simone.
