Compiling mapserver-4.2.3

[Patrick Johanneson]

I think I've followed the instructions in the README.WIN32.TXT file, but I'm
still unable to compile the mapserver program.  I am a neophyte at MSVC++.
Currently I'm getting the following errors:

I may have cheated somewhat -- I renamed bgd.lib to gd.lib and mapserv.lib
to mapserv_i.lib, to get around previous errors.

The reason that I'm trying to recompile rather than use a WIN32 binary is
that I require more than 100 layers in a map file.  If there's a way to do
that without recompiling, I will gladly do it.

Thanks,
