Reinaldo,

There is some earlier discussion of this on the list.  I suggest
you skim back for it, and/or hassle me to write a "gcp adding" utility.

Any number.

Any GDAL supported format is fine for input.  Note that raw files will
only work if you find a way to describe them to GDAL (ie. .aux file, or
.hdr file).

The gdalwarptest program supports nearest neighbour, bilinear and two
types of cubic resampling.
