[Gvsig_english] Auto-cataloging of image files

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Juan Lucas,

After further investigation I found some other people who had the same 
problem with the Windows EXE files that can be downloaded from 
http://www.gdal.org/gdaltindex.html. They suggested that you could try 
to use the version compiled with FWTools. I tried this and it worked.

Cheers Simon
