An issue I see here is that we have a number of raster formats depending on imageio-ext, which in turn needs a old GDAL build (1.7.x) which unfortunately also comes with OGR. So the main issue with the OGR store approach is that if you also need some GDAL based formats you actually have to go and rebuild the whole shebang in order to have them work at the same time, and you're not free to chose the OGR version anyways Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
