legend icons and transparency alpha for pixmap

[Ken Lord]

I'd like to second the motion on this bug ..

In my case im using Mapserver 4.4.1 CGI, and a vector symbol overtop a
solid colour to symbolize the fill of a polygon.

The 'TRANSPARENCY ALPHA' setting in the layer, and 'TRANSPARENT ON' in my
RGB jpeg outputformat fixed the appearance on the map, the map is fine,
but the icons generated in the legend are broken.  The vector symbol lacks
the transparency that it has on the map, and blocks out the solid fill
colour underneath.

The vector symbol is a simple diagonal line:

SYMBOL
 NAME 'hatch1'
 TYPE VECTOR
 TRANSPARENT 0
 POINTS
  0 1
  1 0
 END
END

The typical class in the layer with the problem legend icons looks like
this:

  CLASS
      EXPRESSION ....
      NAME "...."
      STYLE
     COLOR 250 250 130
      END
      STYLE
       SYMBOL 'hatch1'
      COLOR 153 209 155
       SIZE 3
      END
      STYLE
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
      SYMBOL "circle"
      SIZE 1
      END
  END

In this case, the legend icon would appear as white with the '153 209 155'
diagonal lines, outlined in black. If correct it would appear as '250 250
130' with the '153 209 155' diagonal lines, outlined in black.
