Michael,

It is not possible to send floating point WIDTH and HEIGHT values to
MapServer.  I'm not sure why you want the exact BBOX instead of adjusting
it a bit to reflect the actual aspect ratio of the raster requested, but
if you feel strongly about it just let things go into non-square pixel mode.
