Steve,
I tried this out. For some reason, when I try to ./configure, I get:
config.status: creating Makefile
sed: file ./confstatAG8117/subs-2.sed line 6: unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating mapscript/php3/Makefile
sed: file ./confstatAG8117/subs-2.sed line 6: unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating mapscript/java/Makefile
sed: file ./confstatAG8117/subs-2.sed line 6: unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating mapscript/csharp/Makefile
sed: file ./confstatAG8117/subs-2.sed line 6: unterminated `s' command
