Experimental patch for sizeable point symbols

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hi,

I commited the patch (+- some more docs/comments).

I see the following remaining TODOs to have full size
support:

- Add the possibility to set the size in the symbol edit window
- Have size be saved as well
- Take care that the legend show the symbols of different sizes
  nicely (must be possibel somehow to have bigger graphics in that
  tree wisget!)
- Consider the size in the UMN MapServer Extension
- take care symbol is always show correctly
  in the classification dialog
- handle classification to have a size gradient
- make it possible to have the size applied for classification
  so that it either refers to area or to radius.
  (the original wish which is listed on the roadmap as well).
- add info about the size in the manual, including new screenshots
- have a screenshot on the homepage showing the size.

Hope I did not forget anything.
I will work on this as time permits, but any help
would be really appreciated!

Best

	Jan
