[Mapserver-dev] creating some default symbols

[Steve Lime]

That would've been my preference. There's probably not much harm in
using those names. Although if a user creates a duplicate the internal
one would be selected first. I may stick with the leading underscores
while developing until the naming issue is thought out more...

According to the SLD spec, well known symbol names are "square", 
"circle",
"triangle", "star", "cross", and "x".
