[mapserver-dev] Server-side Simplication Speed-up

[Daniel Morissette]

Could we add msLayerSetSimplifyResolution() that could be called to turn 
on/off the simplify stuff? Passing a valid resolution at the beginning 
of a rendering pass would enable it, and a resolution of 0 in other 
cases would disable it and return the original coordinates.
