Thanks for your offer to help.

I'm less well versed in C++ than plain C, which I'm not great with
either though.

libLAS upstream was also willing to help with backporting the GDAL
1.11.0 support to libLAS 1.7 but would prefer to focus on the 1.8 release.

It might be as simple as format-patch'ing the GDAL 1.11.0 commits from
the libLAS master branch, at least these two commits:

https://github.com/libLAS/libLAS/commit/5a3361ea12ad8c946c6675b6f3e7370dd426a408

https://github.com/libLAS/libLAS/commit/95031cef19aabadd7d5a1697109f819cc86b88e0

There may be more related changes hidden in the other commits.

I haven't gotten around to trying to use the above two commits as
patches to libLAS 1.7. At the end of the week my vacation starts which
will give me significantly more time, but I need to dedicate a large
amount of that to my NM process.

Kind Regards,

Bas
