This patch appears to report the georeferenced "x" coordinates along the top edge and the georeferenced "y" coordinates along the left side. However, it is not clear to me that this is particularly useful. For non-simple geotransforms it does not tell us anything about the right or bottom. It does not report correct coordinates for other georeferencing methods (RPCs, GCPs, etc). I am not inclined to incorporate this patch into trunk.
