Mapping Hacks

Frank Warmerdam’s latest release of the GDAL/OGR geodata abstraction libraries looks interesting in the stable support it advertises for different languages:

The major news with this release is that the "Next Generation" Perl, Python
and Ruby bindings are now considered ready to use, though I'm sure there will
be some additional improvements to them in the coming months.  I would like to
give out a special thank you to Ari Jolma (perl), Charlie Savage (Ruby),
Kevin Ruland (Python + overall NG work) and Howard Butler who have put in a
huge amount of effort on these bindings.  If we can get champions for Java,
C# and PHP that are willing to brave the dark depths of SWIG, I'm sure we can
make good progress on them too.
