allow # to comment out gdal options

This is a good suggestion. But is it enough to test whether # is the 1st char?

Is there any scenario possible where # is part of the gdal option? If not, there might be a more generic solution

[maxfreu]

I have not yet come across any GDAL options containing #. Usually the prefix NUM is used to denote numbers, e.g. NUM_THREADS. There are many drivers and I didn't check all of them, but I think it's pretty safe to assume none of them has # in their options. If there's a more generic solution than this one here, I'm all ears; this was just easy to implement. But it's no way important, I think the drivers neglect all options they dont understand anyway.

[davidfrantz]

Yes, that makes sense.
I believe a more generic solution would be to account for this in read_tagvalue()

force/src/cross-level/read-cl.c

Line 140 in 20f1848

buffer[strcspn(buffer, "\r\n")] = 0;

I believe this would work:

 buffer[strcspn(buffer, "\r\n#")] = 0;
 if (strlen(buffer) == 0) continue;

This would also allow for things like

BLOCKSIZE = 5# this is the blocksize
