[PATCH] Drop code supporting GDAL < 1.5.0

[rouault]

There are quite a few places in MapServer code that attempt to support building against GDAL < 1.5.0 with various #ifdef. I think this is unnecessary, and we could happily drop support for such antiquated GDAL versions (for reference: Debian Lenny, the oldstable, ships with GDAL 1.5.2) for MapServer 6.2

Even,

Please go ahead and apply this.

Thanks

If we do this then we should probably also update mapogr.cpp to remove dependencies to versions < 1500

Patch updated with big cleanup in mapogr.cpp

[dmorissette]

We are probably using only the C API in mapogr.cpp with this patch, right? so we could probably rename it to mapogr.c after the patch.

[rouault]

Yes, we only use C API now, but there are C++ constructs, like variable declarations not at the beginning of blocks. And I don't remember how svn mv works, but wouldn't that break svn blame ? (that's really a question)

[rouault]

Patch committed in r13210.

I've left aside the renaming of mapogr.cpp into mapogr.c. This is unrelated topic
