gdal_retile.py for retiling tiled data sets, building tiled pyramids and writing the tileindex as a shape file

[mcr]

I wrote a gdal_retile.py utility for retiling a tiled dataset. Building tiled pyramids is also supported. At the moment I do a some tests on large data sets. As an attachment you find a first version of the man page. My questions are

1. Are you interested in this python script
2. if you are, feedback is necessairy for me
3. Do you have a concept for unit tests, at the moment I use the unittest module

thanks

I'm interested in the script.

What feedback do you need?

We use our own approach to unit tests in http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdalautotest but they are for testing the API, not higher level utilities. We don't generally do automated/regression testing for utilities.
