Ciao guys,
I have done some commits on udig-trunk, hoping to not break anything.
Feel free to check/refactor/improve(/remove) them

Specifically:
-slightly improved grid renderer
-improved imageio-ext plugin
----now handle ECW, MrSID, DTED, NITF, Erdas IMAGE
----disable the plugin when GDAL is not around
----using direct imageio read calls instead of JAI


Some thoughts:
1> it would nice to have a mean to actually set the read-parameters
for the single dataset as we add them to the catalog in order to
control tiling and the like
Question is this something to set at the Catalog level? That is can we make them "connection" parameters? Or are these the kinds of settings people would like to change on a per use basis?
2> it would be nice to have a mean to control hints for the basic grid renderer
We can make additional entries on the StyleBlackboard - if you can give me a specific hint to add I can fold it into the Renderer and the StyleConfigurator.
3> it would be nice to have a mean to control the TileCache as we used it for rendering
Ideas, advice are more than welcome :-).
Is the TileCache a "global" setting - ie something we should change as a Preference for the entire application? Or once again is it a per use setting.

Great stuff,
Jody
