842	OGR .IND files not used if read-only	dmorissette	dmorissette	"{{{
This is indirectly related to #839. 

I found that if the .IND file or the whole set of shapefiles for a given dataset
are read-only, then the .IND file is not used. Just making the .ind file
writeable is enough to have it used.

$ chmod -w shptest2.*
$ ogrinfo shptest2.shp -sql ""SELECT * FROM shptest2 WHERE parcelid = 'D0134 
M00015'""
ERROR 4: Unable to open shptest2.shp or shptest2.SHP.
ERROR 3: Open() failed for shptest2.ind
ERROR 4: Failed to open index file shptest2.ind.
Had to open data source read-only.
...
... the query works but doesn't use the index (slow)
...

$ chmod +w shptest2.ind
$ ls -l shptest2.*
