Pirmin,

OK, I believe Howard and I have committed the necessary pieces into the 4.4
tree in time for beta3 without any active resistance from our esteemed
release manager.  Howard has agreed to be the official scape goat if this
causes problems, but I would strongly encourage you to extract MapServer from
CVS and do a bit of testing of the SDE raster support as commited to ensure it
still works properly. I am no posisition to test it myself (or even build it).

Best regards,
