JP2KAK support for NITF driver

[bugbuster]

GDAL does not completely support NITF "Jpeg2000 compression format" based on Kakadu (JP2KAK driver). As it is with GDAL 1.9.2, it is possible to use "IC=C8" compression flag and use JP2KAK driver. However, there is no way to give any option. In particular, tiling is necesary when dealing with large raster images (e.g. 40000 X 40000).

I added JP2KAK into nitfdataset.cpp file , taking "ECW support" as an example : 1) New function NITFKAKOptions() : option filtering to pass specific options to JP2KAK driver 2) In NITFCreateCopy() : added a test for JP2KAK when initializing poJ2KDriver

Would it be possible to add it to a future version ? For us, it's particularly interesting since : 1) we only have JP2KAK driver to deal with JPEG2000 raster 2) we are dealing large raster images

Thanks for all the great job you're doing !

Proposed patch to nitfdataset.cpp

Could you also update frmt_nitf.html to document that new capability ? And attaching as a .patch directly in Trac makes it easier to review the patch.

Replying to rouault: I just added the Create() case. Attached are the proposed patchs for both source code and html documentation. Let me know if it's OK. Sincerly Philippe

Well, did you test your patch... ? The JP2KAK driver doesn't support Create(), just CreateCopy().

Shame on me ! My test program was only testing CreateCopy() method. I modified the proposed patch (and html file) accordingly.
