Fully featured is the way to (a bit like Slackware itself).

I don't agree with the (fairly widespread, I believe) aim to make 
everything as slimmed down as possible at the expense of functionality 
that the "average user" is probably expecting. If/when you include them, 
those aesthetes who don't want (in this case) netcdf, hdf5, kml, 
xerces-c support are always free to remove them from their local 
gdal.info file.
