Webo,

Note that the stretching problem is an old bug that was accidentally
included in the MapGuide OS 1.1.0 for windows release build.  Greg Boone
has prepared a fixed build of the provider that can be overlaid on
the 1.1.0 release to resolve this issue.

Yes, TomF walked me through this yesterday.

I also went through the process of building an ECW plugin for GDAL 1.3.1
for MapGuide for I haven't yet succeeded in getting it to work in
MapGuide.
