Description (last modified by )
Not sure if this is possible, as it is unclear to me if a user must have a license to use this format or not. However I'm submitting here in case it seems possible. It has been a format that users have requested in the past.
For some reason there are 2 different gdal reference pages:
http://www.gdal.org/drv_cad.html
http://www.gdal.org/drv_dwg.html
Also these might be helpful:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DxfDwg
https://github.com/sandyre/libopencad
https://www.opendesign.com/files/guestdownloads/OpenDesign_Specification_for_.dwg_files.pdf
If building DWG into ogr is not possible, it appears an alternative for users is to use a converter tool to change files from DWG to DXF, which is already in ogr:

hmm the OGR DWG "CAD" driver seems to not be in MS4W 5.2.0-rc2, I think it is a config issue, I'll consider adding it for RC3.

@tchaddad I will enable the "OGR CAD" driver, for this next rc3 release. ( https://gdal.org/en/stable/drivers/vector/cad.html ) Hope that is acceptable.
