artemp/trac2github — Issue #338: More robust filsystem check for file-based and non-file based input connections.

The Mapnik OGR plugin's filesystem check (line 71 of ogr_datasource.cpp) does not permit the use of OGR's OGDI driver (and others?). The problem stems from the OGDI driver's filename string format:

gltp://

which needs to have parsed to pass the existing filesystem check. There may be similar issues with other OGR/GDAL drivers.
