Right.

Actually, we have always deployed past gdal-bindings jars on both OpenGeo
and GeoSolutions repo as
it.geosolutions as group and imageio-ext-gdal-bindings as artifact id.
Anyway, we can arrange them as you suggest for the next 1.7.1 binding
artifact.

Honestly, I haven't never played with the OGR things generated when building
the native libs.
Anyway, for testing purposes, I have just run a "ogrinfo --formats" using
the previously built 1.7.1 native libs and this is the output:

Supported Formats:
  -> "ESRI Shapefile" (read/write)
  -> "MapInfo File" (read/write)
  -> "UK .NTF" (readonly)
  -> "SDTS" (readonly)
  -> "TIGER" (read/write)
  -> "S57" (read/write)
  -> "DGN" (read/write)
  -> "VRT" (readonly)
  -> "REC" (readonly)
  -> "Memory" (read/write)
  -> "BNA" (read/write)
  -> "CSV" (read/write)
  -> "GML" (read/write)
  -> "GPX" (read/write)
  -> "KML" (read/write)
  -> "GeoJSON" (read/write)
  -> "GMT" (read/write)
  -> "ODBC" (read/write)
  -> "PGeo" (readonly)
  -> "PCIDSK" (readonly)
  -> "XPlane" (readonly)
  -> "AVCBin" (readonly)
  -> "AVCE00" (readonly)
  -> "DXF" (read/write)
  -> "Geoconcept" (read/write)
  -> "GeoRSS" (read/write)
  -> "GPSTrackMaker" (read/write)
  -> "VFK" (readonly)

Hope this helps,
Daniele
