WMS, convert GetCapabilites XML to Map Context XML

[Armin Burger]

Tom,

thanks for the link. The Caps2Context.xsl is in fact for WMS. There seem 
to be just some small discrepancies between the output of the template 
and what the MapScript loadMapContext() function requires, but this 
needs just slight modification of the XSL.
