Hmmm... it would seem the old version number is biting me on
Ubuntu Jaunty, I get a compile error which happens only
on gcc 4.3+ (Jaunty has 4.3.3) and apparently GDAL fixed it
in version 1.5.1, or so this Gentoo issue reports:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217876

I did try to build 1.5.4 and in fact it built without issues.

Maybe the imageio-ext people do have an extra patch, or they
just keep on building with older compilers?

Cheers
Andrea
