Jonathan, I don't know but this would interest me also. Have you checked the functionalities in the MODIS package? I think you intend to do things that probably are already implemented, and if not it would be great to get some help over here! The MODIS package uses the alternative installations FWTools or OSGeos4W but through simple system() calls.
Cheers, Matteo >>> Jonathan Greenberg 29.05.13 20.20 Uhr >>> R-sig-geo'ers: Is there a way to have rgdal use a different install of GDAL (specifically, on Windows), e.g. OsGEO4w or FWTools or one of the other various installs noted at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries , rather than the binary it comes with?
