All,

<http://trac.liblas.org/wiki/LASSummaryExample> is an xmlification of typical 
lasinfo output.  What's special about this is that it was generated from within 
the libLAS library code rather than from a stand-alone application.  The 
intention is to provide library users a standard way to summarize files and fix 
up headers, as well as give GUI developers flexible and convenient output to 
feed their applications.

A couple of questions for those who might care:

- Is it worthwhile to optionally store this in a liblas-aware VLR when writing 
files?  It's not necessarily more information that someone could glean from 
properly reading the LAS header, but it is in a more malleable form.

- Does anything appear to be missing?

This effort is the result of incorporating Boost's property trees 
<http://live.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/doc/html/property_tree.html> into 
libLAS.  We can now emit a tree-like structure for most of the basic C++ 
classes within libLAS (Point, Header, SpatialReference, VLR).   I hope to be 
able to instantiate basic libLAS C++ classes from property trees as well, but 
this will have to be a post-1.6 feature.
