Folks, (sorry for those who get this twice, I accidentally sent it to gdal-dev last night)
I have had good success with the GDAL 1.8 upgrade and I have now thrown the switch migrating it into the production version of OSGeo4W. I have upgraded "gdal", "gdal-python", "gdal-mrsid" and "gdal-autotest". I have yet to upgrade the ecw, and sde related drivers, and I have not upgraded the java bindings. I will try to work on them tomorrow. The gdal15dll package was created for backward compatability and should be automatically pulled in. It seems to be working fine for OpenEV. I would encourage folks building packages to update, and rebuild them using the current GDAL. The GDAL include files in C:\OSGeo4W\include and libraries in C:\OSGeo4w\lib should now be for 1.8. Note that the new GDAL package is built using Visual Studio 2008 Express instead of 2003. If you are using the C++ API this may cause issues but if you use the C API it should be invisible. Let me know of problems.
