I have been adding a new format to OGR, all seems well and OGRInfo works. Now I would like to test my code out using QGIS. Is there an easy way to switch which GDAL lib QGIS uses on a windows box? I've read Tim's blog post but would rather not go down the recompiling from source route if possible.
[GIS] change the GDAL/OGR library that QGIS uses

This is my procedure to install gdal 1.10 (from source) with FileGDB_API support enabled on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS client.
--> Assuming that
- don't use ubuntuGIS repository to install gdal/ogr (in this case);
- "libFileGDBAPI library" is already installed ( I used "/usr/local/FileGDB_API" as default location);
cd /path/to/gdalSourceDirectory
./configure --with-fgdb=/usr/local/FileGDB_API
make
make install
While I can't test it, your VRT is different to that specified here: http://www.webrian.ch/2011/09/google-fusion-tables-in-qgis.html
Try this:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
<OGRVRTLayer name="ps">
<SrcDataSource>GFT:refresh=<MY_VERY_LONG_TOKEN_IN_HERE></SrcDataSource>
<SrcLayer>1kQSkw-2cM_PU_jnu_T_PIksBkbyXm1feYaIooq8</SrcLayer>
</OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

This weekend I added a new OGR driver dll to the OSGeo4W build. You can drop a new gdal plugin - as long as it matches the same gdal version (in my case 1.8 - QGIS picked it up without trouble).
