[gdal-dev] FileGDB OGR driver test

[Jeff McKenna]

An update on this issue:

I did some more testing and it seems that I was assuming that MapServer 
would use the SHAPEPATH value for the CONNECTION; I was wrong (in my 
filegdb testing on Windows I have discovered that this is not the case 
here).  So to use a relative path you must make sure your CONNECTION is 
relative to the mapfile.  I have made a note of this in the docs 
(http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/filegdb.html).

Tricky! :)
