Implement (or add noop placeholder for) [delete] command #46

Closed anoved closed 11 years ago

Not something that's supported by shapelib (at least not for shp; there is some "mark as deleted" functionality for dbf) but it could be hacked by dumping shapefile contents minus the entity to delete to a tmp fie, then swapping that in.

Again, something that might more effectively be accomplished by modifying shapelib itself

Nope. I'd rather support a small set of functions well than a large set that's flaky. (Which makes me reconsider the [flush] command again…)
