1782,Inclusion of SRTM HGT read code in the library,list67,warmerdam,"I wrote a srtmhgtdataset.cpp file that allows GDAL to read SRTM (1 arc second and 3 arc second) files. I tested the code on Windows (with gdalinfo, gdal_translate, OpenEV, and GlobalMapper) using SRTM files from this site (ftp://e0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/version2/). The code seems to work. The modifications are attached. 
 
Can the code be included in the GDAL library distribution so that users don't have to execute a file conversion preprocessing step in order to access the SRTM files? 

Thank you.
