[Manuel Madrid]

Hi Wolfgang.

Thank you very much for this contribution. All of them are very useful 
features.

The gvSIG team is working at the present time together with IVER and 
CSGIS for including all this features as soon as possible in an official 
release, surely in the next gvSIG 1.11.

Best regards,
Manuel.
