[mapguide-psc] MapGuide's 1st RFC!

[Paul Spencer]

I am normally a big fan of backwards compatibility too, but I really  
don't see this as a big issue.  Perhaps if the tool just spits out an  
appropriate message if called with incorrect parameters?

Then again, windows users are most likely used to the / style of  
adding parameters so perhaps that makes it worthwhile supporting both?
