Lorenzo,
That would be much appreciated, and I'll get the mapfile in right away. 
We are planning on starting to build the 'final' image this afternoon,
so we've got an effective cutoff of 3pm AEST.  Anything you can get in
before then we'll be sure to add.
<http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=9&day=24&year=2008&hour=15&min=0&sec=0&p1=240>

I've put together a quick, and not especially impressive, mapfile and
cgi template using some australian data, so that will be in there as
well, but the cgi interface doesn't look too impressive.
