it's one hell of a hack though, and with a bit of encouragement
it can often get the job done!

often success depends on how brittle and spec. conformal the
server is. (experience shows if it's GeoServer or similar FOSS
your changes are much better :)

absolutely. now that GDAL has a WMS import filter we might
try using that. At last check it wasn't as flexible as needed
though. (more info on that in another wish in the tracker?)
