[mapserver-users] Bulk creation of mapfile

[Jeff McKenna]

Definitely leverage mapfile INCLUDEs 
(http://mapserver.org/mapfile/include.html). In your case, each LAYER 
could be an include, and you could have a mapfile template file that 
your shell script writes those include layers into.

I recently saw a presentation at FOSS4G-Europe from PropertyShark, who 
manages thousands of layers, using includes, and generates them through 
custom Perl scripts (you can read about that discussion, or contact 
them, through the recent Google+ discussion 
https://plus.google.com/communities/103841604654304099367).
