3749	split of gdal_misc.cpp	barendgehrels	warmerdam	"(Copied from email):

I spent some time to build a Visual Studio project again for OGR (I had done that before). It is not included in the distribution (besides a solution containing makefiles), but to develop and debug things I prefer to have a proper VS (express) solution. This time it was harder than last time (~2 years ago) because there is now a dependancy on GDAL, which I solved by splitting one file (gdal_misc) into two. In case there is interest in this, I can contribute the splitted file and solution. However, the usage of Visual Studio solutions will be limited because it has no (easy) mechanism to include or exclude parts (e.g. postgis, mysql, etc) depending on some settings. I now just have shapefile/bna support included and (for the moment) nothing more.

Anyway, if the gdal_misc.cpp could be splitted by default, I would be thankful for that. 

(new:)
It is probably the best to split it into three files, for example:
gdal_progress.cpp containing the progress functionality
gdal_version_info.cpp 
gdal_misc.cpp 

I've attached the new gdal_misc1.cpp (containing progress and version info only)
