[mapserver-dev] SWF Output : Labels + Ming 0.4

[laurent.baey at free.fr]

Thanks

I added a new version of mapswf.c with the ifdefs, which needs an  
appended version of the configure script.
Aside Effects, one noticeable new feature in ming 0.4 among others is  
the ability to load TrueType font files, no need to convert TTF fonts  
into FDB format anymore, that means only one fontset.txt for all  
mapfile outputs.
