Developing uniform mask

[Doug Nebert]

Mapserver community:

I am interested in creating a "template" or standard graphic method
that would be pasted into every delivered map from a given service
(i.e. from a given map settings file). At first I thought I'd just 
make a GIF with a wld file, but then I realized that I'd need to 
somehow compensate for its display at all scales, when it is actually 
more a final mask to put on the delivered image than it is a layer 
for the mapserver to deal with.

This kind of functionality would be helpful in letting someone add 
a logo, graphic, some text, etc. to a map service to "personalize" it.

Can anyone think of a systematic means for accomplishing this?

Doug.
