[FWTools] FWTools3 Experiment

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I am working on reviving a somewhat modest FWTools for Linux mostly
centered around GDAL.  I have a very first prototype of this new build
approach ready for some testing outside of my home, and I'm hoping a few
linux users on this list would give it a try.

Basically, I'm hoping people will do a quick test of GDAL on their system
and report back if there are any problems - like missing shared libraries.
If you report problems I would like to know the system you are using.  I
may ask you to try new versions as I attempt to fill holes in the package.

Shortly a page about this effort should be available at:

   http://fwtools.maptools.org/linux-experimental.html

In the meantime you can download the new packages from:

   http://home.gdal.org/fwtools/FWTools3-linux-i386.tar.gz
   http://home.gdal.org/fwtools/FWTools3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Best regards,
