Can I build GDAL with MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition?

Yes, since at least GDAL/OGR 1.5 this should be straight forward. Before proceeding with the normal NMAKE based build just ensure that the MSVC_VER macro near the top of gdal/nmake.opt is changed to 1500 to reflect the compiler version (Visual C++ 9.0). This will modify the build to skip the VB6 interfaces which depend on ATL components not available in the express edition.
