 The meters-per-unit value is a crucial setting that is required for the
 official method of tile generation to actually work. The problem is that
 this currently requires external code like
 [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/CodeSamples/PHP/MPUCalculator this
 method]

 We have 2 ways that can calculate meters-per-unit:

  * Using the new CREATERUNTIMEMAP operation in 2.6, which includes this
 value in the response
  * Implement a small mg-desktop utility to calculate this value for us. We
 can do this because Maestro on windows includes the Local Connection Mode
 (that wraps mg-desktop) and includes the full set of CS-Map dictionary
 files.

 Using either one of these methods, we can automatically calculate the
 required value for the official method of tile generation to work
 properly.
