[mapguide-internals] MapGuide REST Extension

[Robert Bray]

Jason,

Generally speaking I like what I see here. Very simple, elegant, and 
powerful. To get a better understanding of how this works, I'd like to see 
two things:

* The source code.
* An example and/or document that describes the configuration file.

Thanks,
Bob
