Marc,

Download and run the VM
Uncomment "#OPTIONS="$OPTIONS --with-mrsid=path/to/dsdk"
Run "fgsdev build_pkg gdal"
Backup your existing fgs environment before modifying it
Copy resulting tarball to real FGS server and install
Test there, if not working revert to release 1.0.0 GDAL tarball


It is not necessary to test within the vm.  If you prefer I could build 
the gdal package with mrsid for you.  But if you prefer to give it try 
before with the vm, you're welcome.
