question about using shptree

[Stephen Lime]

Quadtree index (.qix) file is detected automatically. If it's not there then
the MapServer falls back on a bounding box intersection test FOR EACH
SHAPE to determine if it should be processed further.

Curiosity question.  Once a spatial index is created with shptree, how
is the resulting .qih file registered with and used by mapserver.  Does
mapserver pick it up automatically from the Layer Object data field?
