Chris,

I am not aware of aware of prebuilt binaries for windows with it.  We
have MrSID plugins for GDAL 1.7 in OSGeo4W but 1.7 lacks the lidar
driver.  I have a "gdal-dev" in OSGeo4W built from trunk, but that
lacks the MrSID libraries.

I am not actually sure that the lidar support has ever been built into
GDAL on windows yet.  If we had GDAL 1.8 in the can, I'd build plugin
packages for that for you but it is still several weeks out.

I'm cc:ing Mike Rosen in case he happens to have binaries stashed somewhere.

If I were still building FWTools for windows it would be a natural thing
to include.   I really ought to get off my duff and get producing them
again.

Best regards,
--
