[mapserver-users] Testing KML support

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi Peter,

There is supposed to be --with-kml.
I have added the OUTPUT=KML if built with the flag.
Note that the driver is still in development/cleanup state. I will 
update the RFC  (http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-58.html) 
once this phase is over.

regards,
