Kurt,

Thanks for the link to your gdal.info file.

I've put into the tracker a new gdal.info that incorporates some of your work 
with mime.  Some fixes I did differently, such as using --with-local instead of 
patching LDFLAGS.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=980830&group_id=17203&atid=414256

The one major difference is that this package doesn't have python support built 
into it, it's explicitly disabled.  I think that should be a separate package to 
support people having different versions of python installed.  I would imagine 
that Python 2.4 will be coming out sometime in the future and we don't want to 
tie this package to Python 2.3.

I don't think it would be to hard to create a gdal-py23.info file.  It would use 
the same gdal-1.2.1.tar.gz and patch the setup.py file to change INCINCLUDE_DIRS 
to include %p/include and change LIBRARY_DIRS to have %p/lib.  Hopefully, it 
wouldn't need to run configure, just run python setup.py.

Regards,
Blair
