Oh, I though gdal was using those same libraries to be able to open ecw 
files. Do you know if gdal is supporting that format by itself?

No, I think it would be much more difficult in gvSIG 1.x :( .

Rafa and you are already commiters in gvsig-desktop, so no problem in 
that case, but if there are other volunteers out of the project, they 
will need to ask for it.

Ups, sorry Jordi, tell me something about the gdal ecw support, please. ;)
