I am somewhat new to Mapserver and I am having trouble showing Mapinfo
tiff's through Mapserver.  I am a little confused about wether the
Windows binaries that are available for download from the Mapserver site
actually have the support for images or not.  I was reading on the site
something about having to recompile the executable from the source code,
using additional libraries in order to get the image support!  Tell me
this is not true!  Why wouldn't mapserver be compiled with every
library?  Maybe I am misunderstanding something.  There does not seem to
be anything useful in the way of debugging to help me through this
issue.  I am using the default Mapserver interface to view my maps and
basically, the layer does not draw.  I have been able to get oracle
spatial, shape and cascaded layers to show fine.
