Michael / Nicolas,

I would add that GDAL now supports reading and writing GTX
files.  So you can use GDAL to translate from other formats
(ie. GeoTIFF, ASCII) to GTX.

Hmm, I was going to point off to the driver documentation but
it seems I haven't written any.  Perhaps I can do this today.

Right - they will only be used when the coordinate system
definitions include an explicit +geoidgrids directive.
