Copying Kakadu libraries and building GDAL with Kakadu support

JP2KAK

@@ -1 +1 @@
 JP2KAK is the [http://www.kakadusoftware.com/ Kakadu] based [http://www.gdal.org/frmt_jp2kak.html GDAL Driver] for JPEG2000 image data.  There are several other JPEG2000 drivers as well (JPEG200 - JasPer, JP2MRSID - MrSID SDK, JP2ECW - ECW SDK).  The Kakadu library is proprietary, but can be licensed under reasonable terms for various uses. Unfortunately it comes with a slightly unusual build system which makes it hard to build against.

 The following guide walks through steps required to build '''Kakadu 6.0''' and '''GDAL''' with JP2KAK driver support on 32-bit Linux machine. Instructions presented here have been tested under Ubuntu Linux.

+After this step, Kakadu libraries can be found here:

+
+* Configuration
+
+{{{
+$ ./configure --with-kakadu=/usr/local/kakadu-6.0
+}}} 
+
+As you see, ''--with-kakadu'' option takes root (prefix) of Kakadu installation directory. As mentioned in the previous section, GDAL building scripts will look for Kakadu binaries in subdirectory ''/usr/local/kakadu-6.0/lib''.
+
+Verify if ./configure successfully detected Kakadu files:
+
+{{{
