Issues for MapServer extensions

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hi Jan,

I've tested the mapserver extension a little bit
and have some comments:

1. When creating .map files, there should be a comment
at the beginning of the file that this has been
automatically created by the Thuban UMN Mapserver extension.

2. I have problems creating a .map file from
iceland_sample_class.thuban (but happens with all iceland
sampes):
  An unhandled exception occurred:
  msInitGDALOutputFormat(): General error message. No GDAL driver named
  `GTiff' available.
What do I need to do to avoid this?
Hmm: This problem occurs only if I first load a mapfile,
the load another session. If I start with loading a session
and then storing this as a mapfile all works fine.

3. I improved the README a little bit as it can be avoided
to make a installation as root which some people (like me)
do not want.

4. There are some error message when importing the sample
map file. Are you working on this?

5. If I export the iceland_sample_class.thuban as a .map-file
and import that again, the projection is lost. The rest
looks identical - very nice.
What about the projection?

Best

	Jan
