you wrote in the a previous thread that one can use gdal 1.5 directly to access a WMS ressource which is defined in an xml file (see snippet below). As 1.5 is out (and I compiled with MrSid support - works nicely by the way), I looked but could find no information on that feature. Could you please elaborate how I can use this instead of setting up a mapserver on localhost?
my understanding was - feel free to correct me - dylan was refering to
the OGR/GDAL vrt driver.

http://www.gdal.org/gdal_vrttut.html
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_vrt.html

I would rather guess it was the "WMS -- Web Map Services" driver:


Ah - now I understand. I still have to set up a WMS server, but I can access it through gdal instead of using r.in.wms.

Well, if you have the data directly accessible, I don't know if it is the most efficient way to access it via a webserver and wms. The main insterest of this is obviously to get data from a distant wms server...
