    *  <li>--version: report version of GDAL in use.
    *  <li>--license: report GDAL license info.

    *  <li>--optfile filename: expand an option file into the argument list. 
    *  <li>--config key value: set system configuration option. 
    *  <li>--debug [on/off/value]: set debug level.
    *  <li>--mempreload dir: preload directory contents into /vsimem

/* Class Band */

/**
 * Class Band is an uninstanciable class providing various methods to access a single raster band (or channel).
 * 
 * <p>
 * The Band class is a binding for the C++ <a href="http://gdal.org/classGDALRasterBand.html">GDALRasterBand</a> class.
 * <p>
 * Band objects are returned by methods from other classes, such as
 * Dataset.<a href="Dataset.html#GetRasterBand(int)">GetRasterBand()</a>
 *
 * Users of the Java bindings must be aware that the Java primitive types byte, short, int are signed types, whereas a few GDAL
 * data types (GDT_Byte, GDT_UInt16 and GDT_UInt32) are unsigned. To read/write those data types, you may have to
 * choose a "larger" type for example (short/GDT_Int16 for GDT_Byte, int/GDT_Int32 for GDT_UInt16, double/GDT_Float64 for GDT_UInt32), or use
 * some tricks to hold unsigned values into signed data type. For example :
 * <pre>
 *   byte[] byteArray = new byte[xsize * ysize];
 *   byte[] byteArray2 = new byte[xsize * ysize];
 *   band.ReadRaster(0, 0, xsize, ysize, gdalconst.GDT_Byte, byteArray);
 *   for(int j=0; j &lt; ysize; j++)
 *   {
 *      for(int i=0; i &lt; xsize; i++)
 *      {
 *          byte bVal = byteArray[j*xsize+i]; // ranging from -128 to 127
 *          int nVal = ((int)bVal) & 0xff; // remapped to range from 0 to 255
 *          int nVal2;
 *          if (nVal > threshold)
 *              nVal2 = 255;
 *          else
 *              nVal2 = 0;
 *          byte bVal2 = (nVal2 > 127) ? nVal2 - 256 : nVal2; // remapped to range from -128 to 127
 *          byteArray2[j*xsize+i] = bVal2;
 *      }
 *   }
 *   band2.WriteRaster(0, 0, xsize, ysize, gdalconst.GDT_Byte, byteArray2);
 * </pre>

/**
 * The RasterAttributeTable (or RAT) class is used to encapsulate a table
 * used to provide attribute information about pixel values.  Each row
 * in the table applies to a range of pixel values (or a single value in
 * some cases), and might have attributes such as the histogram count for
 * that range, the color pixels of that range should be drawn names of classes
 * or any other generic information. 
 *
 * <p>
 * The RasterAttributeTable class is a binding for the C++ <a href="http://gdal.org/classGDALRasterAttributeTable.html">GDALRasterAttributeTable</a> class.
 * <p>
 * Raster attribute tables can be used to represent histograms, color tables,
 * and classification information.  
 * <p>
 * Each column in a raster attribute table has a name, a type (integer,
 * floating point or string), and a GDALRATFieldUsage.  The usage distinguishes 
 * columns with particular understood purposes (such as color, histogram 
 * count, name) and columns that have specific purposes not understood by 
 * the library (long label, suitability_for_growing_wheat, etc).  
 * <p>
 * In the general case each row has a column indicating the minimum pixel
 * values falling into that category, and a column indicating the maximum
 * pixel value.  These are indicated with usage values of GFU_Min, and
 * GFU_Max.  In other cases where each row is a discrete pixel value, one
 * column of usage GFU_MinMax can be used.  
 *  <p>
 * In other cases all the categories are of equal size and regularly spaced 
 * and the categorization information can be determine just by knowing the
 * value at which the categories start, and the size of a category.  This
 * is called "Linear Binning" and the information is kept specially on 
 * the raster attribute table as a whole.
 * <p>
 * RATs are normally associated with Bands and be be queried

/**
 * Create image to image transformer.
 * <p>
 * This function creates a transformation object that maps from pixel/line
 * coordinates on one image to pixel/line coordinates on another image.  The
 * images may potentially be georeferenced in different coordinate systems, 
 * and may used GCPs to map between their pixel/line coordinates and 
 * georeferenced coordinates (as opposed to the default assumption that their
 * geotransform should be used). 
 * <p>
 * This transformer potentially performs three concatenated transformations.
 * <p>
 * The first stage is from source image pixel/line coordinates to source
 * image georeferenced coordinates, and may be done using the geotransform, 
 * or if not defined using a polynomial model derived from GCPs.  If GCPs
 * are used this stage is accomplished using GDALGCPTransform(). 
 * <p>
 * The second stage is to change projections from the source coordinate system
 * to the destination coordinate system, assuming they differ.  This is 
 * accomplished internally using GDALReprojectionTransform().
 * <p>
 * The third stage is converting from destination image georeferenced
 * coordinates to destination image coordinates.  This is done using the
 * destination image geotransform, or if not available, using a polynomial 
 * model derived from GCPs. If GCPs are used this stage is accomplished using 
 * GDALGCPTransform().  This stage is skipped if dst_ds is null when the
 * transformation is created. 
 *
 * Supported Options:
 * <ul>
 * <li> SRC_SRS: WKT SRS to be used as an override for src_ds.
 * <li> DST_SRS: WKT SRS to be used as an override for dst_ds.
 * <li> GCPS_OK: If FALSE, GCPs will not be used, default is TRUE. 
 * <li> MAX_GCP_ORDER: the maximum order to use for GCP derived polynomials if
 * possible.  The default is to autoselect based on the number of GCPs.  
 * A value of -1 triggers use of Thin Plate Spline instead of polynomials.
 * <li> METHOD: may have a value which is one of GEOTRANSFORM, GCP_POLYNOMIAL,
 * GCP_TPS, GEOLOC_ARRAY, RPC to force only one geolocation method to be
 * considered on the source dataset. 
 * <li> RPC_HEIGHT: A fixed height to be used with RPC calculations.
