Menno,

In general you should just be able to add STYLEITEM "AUTO" to your layer
definition, and perhaps remove your CLASS definition.  This should cause
MapServer to use the OGR style information.   There should not be any
changes to symbol files required.  I don't think any of the DGN autostyled
stuff uses symbols.

Best regards,
