[mapserver-dev] MS RFC 37: AUTO Projection Support

All,

I would like to put forward MS RFC 37 to provide a mechanism for layer drivers to be able to provide their projection information automatically.  This feature would be opt-in, and it would require users to set the following in their mapfile:

PROJECTION
    AUTO
END

<http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-37.html>

The other items that were once in this RFC, like allowing users to set projection information using data types other than proj.4 have been removed.  It is now simply an implementation for AUTO support and the virtual table methods required to allow drivers to optionally implement support for it.  

/me starts with a +1

Howard
