+Comment: Dave Register (OpenCPN lead author) wrote:
+ "We could use libgdal, with what I would call "moderate"
+ effort, with some loss of functionality.
+ .
+ There are good reasons not to.  libgdal is very capable, but
+ not optimum for dynamic GUI based systems like ours.  Its
+ great for generating static data from S57 cells.
+ .
+ I tweaked some of the code to compile on Windows, eliminate
+ redundancy, reduce memory footprint, fix some obvious bugs
+ present in the version I started with, and add call backs to
+ support Progress Dialogs on SENC creation. In theory, these
+ fixes should go upstream to GDAL.  In practice, though.....
+ .
+ IMHO, this kind of improvement for a specific application
+ should not block debian repo inclusion.  Otherwise we wear a
+ ball and chain, and innovation is stifled.
+ .
+ Thanks Dave"

+Comment: wrt code duplication,
+ plugins/demo_pi_sample's copy is just for illustrative purposes.
+ see http://opencpn.org/ocpn/flyspray/index.php?do=details&task_id=725
+ .
+ wrt being an embedded library,
+ It does not exist in elsewhere in Debian; the code here has been
+ specifically tailored/reworked by the OpenCPN lead author and is
+ maintained within the OpenCPN source tree.
