ECW as an external plugin

Reported by: frankie Assigned to: warmerdam

Component: ConfigBuild Version: 1.5.1
Severity: normal Keywords: ecw plugin

Description

The included patch (largerly inspired by GRASS support) does allow building a gdal_ECW.so plugins with an external compilation unit. The idea is allowing users to add easily ECW support to a binary distribution of GDAL, such as the Debian one. One needs only to build and install the ECW lib and use a tiny suitable package to build the GDAL ECW plugin. The patch is taken against 1.5.1 but it should be easy adding to trunk or other branches. It would be nice if it could be added to mainstream GDAL of course

A note: I used autoconf 2.6 so you probably need to rebuild the auto stuff to be consistent with gdal toolchain...
